My main question is in the title.
If these languages versions are not going to be supported, what are there the main reasons that prevent it from happening? What would be the libraries that are only supported for Python 2.7 and <=C++11 but not for the new versions of the programming languages, that the ROS team would like to include anyway in the system?
This page currently says the following:
C++ standard
The core of ROS 1 is targeting C++03 and doesn’t make use of C++11 features in its API. ROS 2 uses C++11 extensively and uses some parts from C++14. In the future ROS 2 might start using C++17 as long as it is supported on all major platforms.
Python
ROS 1 is targeting Python 2. ROS 2 requires at least Python version 3.5.

Probably yes. See this github wiki: https://github.com/ros2/ros2/wiki
