I'm sure you know that proposals and designdecisions are evaluated with ABI stability in mind, and sometimesotherwise valid proposals are rejected (or not written in the firstplace) because they would break ABI.Just an example of this that I recently came upon:https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_defects.html#2094And this isn't just about the Standard, this affects implementations aswell, and to even stronger degree.-- Std-Proposals mailing listStd-Proposals_at_[hidden]://lists.isocpp.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/std-proposals
