Well said and I agree.

TinyCC is not a suckless project, has no relation to it, and owes it
nothing. I don't see how/why anything suckless should affect TinyCC.
That being said, this whole discussion of what to support first is
mostly moot. Progress is being made by volunteers, with some
maintainers who might revert or fix some commits if they don't align
with the project's goals.
These goals appear to be code quality, speed, size, and standard
compliance, in no particular order. Maintainers and contributors
are aware of the standards, and progress is being made towards those
standards (c99, c11, whatever) as time and ability permits.
If some contributor is unsure whether to add support for a c99
feature or a newer version feature, then personally I'd like to see
earlier versions supported first, but I can't tell people what to
do, so ultimately it depends on individuals and how they choose to
spend their time.
Preferring to have a release which can be called stable is also
something which many would like to see and have expressed this wish
multiple times in this mailing list, but again, it depends on the
main maintainer to make that happen.
avih

Totally agree, yet C11 should be the "target standard", not C99 which
lacks new refinements for modern coding.
This alienates all the suckless software, for the sake of...? Just for
the heck of it?
C99 is the last good version of C, before it gradually started turning
into C++. Ah well, time to fork.
