Do we know that the new language features are stable enough? I know, you are talking about C++ ... but e.g. we had serious troubles with new fency language stuff in JDK8 like lambdas, streams (under high concurrency) with the JIT compiler etc., thus new is not always better (especially under load) although more convenient for the developer.
