Fair enough, that's a principle you can have for yourself and depending on your role and responsibilities that may suit you. But at least be aware that others may have a different principle and set of responsibilities. I can't upvote this sentiment enough. C++ has been used by millions of programmers working in numerous fields over a period of decades. Any attempt to generalise from a single person's own experience of using C++ to that entire community is surely unwise. I note (for no particular reason, honest) that this applies even if you are a long-standing member of the standards committee.
