How about making the language more accessible to newcomers by providing a sane default way of doing package management and builds. Go is a great example of both things done reasonably well out of the box.

and when would c++ 17 come?

c++11 came in 2011. c++14 came in 2014. Seeing a pattern yet?

When we'll have a compiler support - this is what really matters, especially for those who use MSVC... It is 2015 and we still don't have a full C++11 support.

FWIW, Clang and GCC support all C++11 features.

From where I'm standing, C++ package management is already quite nicely solved by what we call package managers in the linux world. You know, portage, aptitude, etc.
