The issue I think is that C++11 doesn't fix those shortcomings, it does provide better alternatives (though without much of the compiler support Rust does, at least without adding more tools on top), but you have to know about the issues with the originals and find out the alternatives exist.

I see your point. I suppose C++11 and onwards did it quite well in that it is backwards compatible for the most part, and didn't orphan old codebases.
