Actually, I'm increasingly convinced we made the right choice there. In some other areas (exception safety) we're discovering that adding new traits to the language that infect everything has dramatically negative effects on usability.

I think of things like the leakpocalypse the same way I think of security advisories like the Go one from a few days ago. Yeah, it looks bad on paper, but the odds of being affected by it in practice are so incredibly low that it's not worth worrying about.
