From reading all their comments up to now, my feeling is that's exactly their plan. When asked, "Where do you think C is going?", one of them said, "I don't see it going anywhere." I took that as a good thing, meaning, they're concerned about backward compatibility, compiler performance, and only adding features when there's a wide concensus in implementation - which is a high enough hurdle that avoids the feature bloat of C++. Overall, I felt the "conservatism" refreshing, to keep the language small. On the other hand, there are several common feature requests I see in this thread that probably will never be part of the language, since it moves slow relative to other languages.
