I should have replaced 'conformance' with 'feature completeness' in my 
sentences.
The words in the message indicate 'features'.  The word experimental 
appears in bold.

My understanding is that the C++11 ABI changes to string, list, 
ios_base::failure (are there others?) that have been queued for a while 
have been put into gcc5.  This is the big release.  There was a message 
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-12/msg01669.html (and 
subsequent) on this.
Check https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-10/msg00268.html for 
std::list.
Check https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-11/msg01750.html for 
std::ios_base::failure.

I'm quite sure that once the ABI issues have been stabilized appropriate 
formal announcements and documentation will appear on this subject.
