No. In fact in a few short months post C++11 will have overtaken pre-C++11 as the majority of the 26 year history of standardized C++ (and similar to prior standards, compilers for the fortunate implemented much of the behavior prior to the official publication).

that's because they switched to a different 'release cycle' for C++ standards, also now they have minor releases like C++14.

The release cycle does not change the number of years that have elapsed before and after 2011.
