Why are the exception specifications being deprecated post-release of the C++11 standard?
It officially mentions the reason is because of introduction of noexcept
I do not fully understand this but is it due to performance issues?

From http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/noexcept_spec: *noexcept is an improved version of throw(), which is deprecated in C++11. Unlike throw(), noexcept will not call std::unexpected and may or may not unwind the stack, which potentially allows the compiler to implement noexcept without the runtime overhead of throw().* – chris Dec 03 '13 at 07:14
