I will accept that my view was too narrow of the world, but I'll make one final
statement. I think I've sufficiently exposed my view of this subject.

The fact that they didn't know something does not mean they shouldn't have
known about it and if they had, they could have produced even better code.

I know a lot of developers who don't know anything about exceptions and for
the most part they can write really good C++ code. I know a lot who also know
little about threading and would be hard-pressed to write thread-safe code. I
believe that libraries belongs in that same category of general knowledge, as
opposed to niche knowledge like memory ordering or (to bring home to
libraries) the order in which libraries are loaded by the dynamic linker.
