The wonderful thing about very new hardware is that in a few years, it's mainstream hardware, and a few years later it's essentially all hardware. Unsurprisingly, it's the hardware manufacturers who block most new requirements on hardware that IEEE-754 might want to add. They very much want the committee to standardize existing practice, and short of reforming the membership rules, there's very little that could be done to prevent them from blocking changes.
