Although in general Qt > 5.6 requires C++11, we don't require _complete 
C++11 support_ from the compiler, in order to support as many platforms 
as possible. We don't (and cannot) use certain language features; some 
language feature needs protection via #ifdefs and other macros; and we 
unconditionally require minimal support from the Standard Library (as of 
now, I think, only containers, <new>, <type_traits>).

Support for <chrono> from the Standard Library is one of the things that 
Qt includes conditionally. I'm not sure which platform we want to 
support doesn't have it yet (QNX? maybe osX?), and since we don't want 
to drop that platform, we protect the inclusion. Yes, this also means 
you need to upgrade your compiler to support the has_include mechanism. 
(Or, patch your local version of Qt...)

Hope this helps,
