Linux developers, or rather its BDFL are hardly the best place to go to, when looking for sane, balanced opinions.

Considering all C programs are valid C++ programs (albeit some requiring minor alterations), it is possible to find a subset of C++ that is less painful to write than C, while also being as easy to grasp, simple, and maintainable, as C code. Google has an internal style guide that attempts to accomplish that, which I didn't agree with much, but oh well.

Just like Apple has done on IO Kit and now Driver Kit, just to cite one example.

At least since C99 it is no longer true that all C programs are valid C++ programs. C isn't a subset of C++.
