There is something of a policy decision here.  What happens when someone 
submits new code using stdbool.h and ``true'' and ``false''?  Is it 
rejected outright (....),  or as happens now, suggest this may not be 
such a good idea after all.

I guess all that can be done is for the rationale to be clearly documented.

TRUE / FALSE probably fall into the same category.

enjoy,
Andrew
