It isn't, there are balancing parts in its membership, especially in
the non-U.S. members of it. Perhaps you should try at least once in
your life to avoid spouting
nonsense about things you seem to know nothing about.

For heaven's sake.. ..there are members of WG21 who oppose ABI breaks
because those hurt *small* companies, not big ones
- and they hurt end users, end users who are not programmers and can't
simply "recompile source code", because they don't
know what any of those three words mean. See above for a
recommendation to keep your mouth shut about things you understand
nothing about.

Why should anyone care about what you care about, or don't?

> What about giving up EBCDIC? Or at least making the situation better? Oh no. WG21 does nothing.

This is getting hilarious. SG16 has made steady improvements (and
those improvements have indeed been adopted by WG21)
to character set handling and specification in C++, but to you that's "nothing".

> Oh, we also have new format string advocators in WG21, hmhm. Of course they are going to push propaganda to advocate format string which are historically vulnerablities. "These big companies love format string lol because they want their programmers to write cheap and buggy code." Then went there talking shit like: C++ is dangerous and only terroists use it because it helps CCP violates human rights.

Ah, yes, sounds very hinged.
