One has nothing to with the other.

That is the thing with committee driven languages, with multiple vendor implementations.

Not everyone is on the same room voting for the same features, and not everyone is implementing the features in any specific order.

By the way, I would rather have Safe C++ than profiles, but do not vote, so whatever.

I'm not saying they are related, just saying that the committee committeing is going to take half a decade at least for both.

Well, it is still going to be faster than WG14 ever doing anything useful improve the C's security model regarding arrays and strings.

It has hardly moved since 1989, and annex K doesn't count, given its broken design.

Anyway I am still mostly stuck with .NET Framework, Java 17, node 20 in many commercial deployments, so it isn't like everyone cares that much to update to latest, given existing business decisions.

Those kind of industries don't care about programming language featurities anyway.
