Thanks
> The demands for memory safety are not unreasonable, in fact, I consider them too feeble for the long term, so responding to the demands is in the interest of C++

He's simply making the case for profiles and trying to rally the people he works with around that as a necessary goal. That's something that any leadership has to do from time to time. That's also something he's done before when he warned everyone about proposing a bunch of incompatible features with no clear vision. Nothing unexpected here, in no way is this "panicking".
