is there a time plan for merging the branch into Emacs?  Right now I think the 
situation is a bit frustrating and confusing.  Basic C++11 support is not 
working in branch Emacs, except for the "enum class" support that got merged 
in directly.  There are several patches for syntax highlight, but that's 
supposed to work in your branch already.  However merging the cc-mode branch 
into Emacs is, if I understand your description right, not straight forward 
and requires extra work.

How stable is the c++11 branch?  Now that 24.4 has shipped, couldn't it be 
merged?  I think that would open it up to far more contributors and testers 
than keeping it in a separate project.
