I'm sorry, why this attitude? The standard has been made by people, there are definitely errors in it, that are being corrected, a very hard and prolonged effort. We are not talking about "enemies", we are talking about people like me and you: people like me and you don't like unreasonable choices, I think. Can happen to end up with something that looks unreasonable, in retrospect, but I think we owe respect to that endeavour (I'm not discussing the merit of your problem, just some general considerations) -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21543
