Not really. There are a lot of platforms that already have a compiler that the vendor claims is standard, so being able to ensure programs rely only on the standard would make it easy to target all of these existing platforms and compiler implementations. The "boring" compiler doesn't exist yet, and would need to be implemented on every platform that currently has a standard compiler to be as useful.
