Thanks for the link! Would you mind summarizing a few relevant points from the hour and a half long video? ;)

  He mentioned stuff like shifting from an static to a living language (figuratively speaking and mostly referring to the revision frequency). There were also a proposal to include mature libraries into the standard (i.e boost, cairo, etc. He also said that was impossible with number of people on the comittee and they included more members in the form of study groups focusing in different features/libraries. I believe the major points would be that they recognized the need to make the ISO C++ revision cycle faster

    I'm also curious what proportion of the committee was made up of "old guard" folks ten years ago compared to today.

      Well since there were ~30-50 regulars on the committee before 2012 and attendance is now closer to ~100 (can't find the source now, IIRC one of Herbs talks) it is quite easy to see that there is lot of "fresh blood".
