> So either we get no new standard at all, or we get a Standard without the large features. No new standard then. The C++ compilers, standard libraries and the ecosystem have barely caught up with C++11, and C++ 17 was now on the horizon. If it doesn't bring much benefit, then it really cannot justify the compatibility nightmares. I for one will skip it. > Your boost argument is only valid for library features. That is exactly the point. Library features are not exciting as they can be implemented just fine and better by third parties. Therefore a C++ standard with only library features are hardly useful at all.
