C11 had some very good updates for multithreading, unicode support and alignment specifications. All of those things made the language better. Yes compared to the crazy changes going on in C++ land all of these are minor, but they are good maintenance improvements. C11 also had _Generic as a "major" addition (and a crappy one IMO). I agree that if C is not going to evolve in any meaningful way, they should probably just stop adding stuff to it entirely. Either go for a "C++11" or let it be frozen in place.
