I 100% agree, and I wouldn't have agreed to it had I not been on a standardization committee in a before/after situation. The before was mainly implementers. At least they had a super majority. After was 5% implementers and it was a complete disaster. That 95% was like a kid in a candy store: no regard for implementation difficulty or what it would do to language consistency. Thankfully, the effort died quite quickly, so I never had to make much of the issue.
