Pick a C++ version and use that then. Compilers are not dropping old versions of the std, but the new versions are just that new. No deprecation affects an older version of C++ and no one is forcing developers(as seen by the 20-30% that still use C++98/03) to upgrade their code bases.

Yes, all you need to do, with both g++ and clang, is to specify the version of the standard that you want. Picking a mature standard makes it likely that most bugs have been fixed.
