Compiler engineer Marek Polacek of Red Hat recently proposed making the C++20 language specification (or rather the GNU++20 dialect) the default C++ version when not otherwise specified.

Polacek proposed declaring GCC’s C++20 support no longer experimental and to use it as the default. The current default dialect is C++17 (GNU++17) that was set five years ago.
