Older compilers?  C99 was adopted 17 years ago, and most of the changes
it standardardized had by then already been implemented by more than one
compiler.  

Sticking with C90 is perfectly rational if you're still running 
Windows 98 on a Pentium III at 500 Mhz with 256 MB RAM.  Else, really,
it's not too soon to adopt a 6-year old standard, C11.
