I've been holding proposing to drop C-mode support in master with the idea that that would help with all the bugfix backporting going on. I've had to explain this several times recently, as people are eager to use C++ features. Multiple times this week, even. At this point the backporting rate is quite low though, so maybe it no longer makes that much sense to hold C++ back, at least in new code. What do people think? Time to march ahead? Thanks, Pedro Alves
