Off topic: Actually, you can make almost anything withstand almost
any conditions TEMPORARILY - it depends on the packaging too. If you
wrap a circuit that can work at 100 deg C in a water jacket wrapped
in high temperature insulation, you can keep it going until most of
the water has boiled away. That's how those so-called fire safes can
protect papers against fire for a certain amount of time - the
insulation is hydrated gypsum, which insulates and provides cooling water.
On topic: You can use whatever capacitors make sense for the
application, but you know that the hotter they need to run, the less
life is to be expected.

In the Paper Pusher's mind the Kevlar clothing can withstand those
temperatures, therefor anything else in the Universe can too.
Never under estimate the bureaucratic mind...
