Is everybody on board with the implications for this patch in terms of
platforms we allow building on?  For example, the gcc on Centos7
doesn't support C17, and that isn't *that* old of a platform.

If all the developers agree that we won't support less than Centos8,
then so be it.  But I think this should be a conscious decision, and
we might want to reflect it in the documentation somewhere on what
major platforms/versions we expect to be able to build on.
