I think my point is that a standardization committee is not a government.


It surely looks like one from the outside.

Features only get added when there is a champion to push for them forward across all hurdles (candidate), and voted in by its peers (election), at the end of a government cycle (ISO revision), the compiler users rejoice for the new set of features.


You may have noticed that most features existed in compilers before.
