What do you mean? We've been officially depending on the C++11 memory model 
since sometime in Qt 3. The C++98 memory model is incompatible with threads, 
we were out of it. There was quite a bit of work to fix some of the issues 
during the Qt 5.0 timeframe.

Also, we can't use std::unique_ptr until much later. The Standard Library 
support is much sketchier than the language support from the compiler. I also 
don't see a need to use std::unique_ptr at all in Qt code and we don't use 
std::vector either.
