I wish they had just added the overloads to the std:: namespace though - breaking a few obscure cases would have been worth that.

The committee is very reluctant to break old code. That's one of the reasons the language as documented is so large.
That being said it's not clear to me what would have broken by putting sort(x) into std:: as you recommend.
