It would be insane to expect somebody arrive at a perfect feature full working version of anything in the first try. That's true for any piece of software. SQL is not done yet, the fact that you can put in neat little features still into it is a proof to how well it was designed. Heck we still have Lisp evolving today. A lot of things got done right in the early days.
