If your compiler isn't tracking the standard well, don't use it. The truth is that C++14 is just got ratified now and already open source compilers have implemented most of its capabilities. Concepts are a bigger kettle of fish, but compiler makers have also had much more time to work on them, so I wouldn't assume we have the huge lag problems we used to have with standards adoption.
