It's kind of late to be complaining about a new keyword in a language standard from 1999 in 2012. However, it does reflect an attitude I've seen in a variety of places, that C99 is a corruption of the spirit of C, which was most closely captured in the old ANSI C. Standard C, they called it. To these people, C99 (and its successors) will always be a proposal, a hypothetical, and a foreign idea. Fun to think about and debate, but not really something that really matters.
