+This section clarifies status of C++14 support in GEOS.
+
+* Once C++11 is adopted as default compilation mode, GEOS developers and maintainers must ensure it also successfully compiles in C++14 and C++17 modes. 
+
+* Are contributors allowed to add `ifdef`'s for C++14 and C++17? No. 
+
+* Is there a plan to upgrade to C++14 or C++17 to allow use of the C++ latest features? No, there is no plan. It is, however, recognized, such motion may be put to the vote around 2020.
