It looks to me as if they are going to switch to the new ABI, but
haven't made any firm decision on that yet.

However, I don't think this should have any bearing on whether gtkmm
adopts C++11.  As I have mentioned, this should not and does not depend
on what ABI a particular distribution happens to choose for its C++
binaries.
