Two out of three of those things have nothing to do with editions. The final one is basically saying “you can’t make huge changes,” and I’m not sure how that’s a criticism of the possibility of “in 40 years there will be too many changes.”

> Therefore, the answer to the question of, say, “what is a valid C++14 program?” changes over time, up until the publication of C++17, and so forth. In practice, the situation is a bit more complicated when compiler vendors offer conformance modes for specific language revisions (e.g. -std=c++11, -std=c++17). Vendors may consider defect resolutions to apply to any historic revision that contains the defect (whereas ISO considers only the most recent publication as the Standard).

Feel free to think I am only doing FUD, and coming from C++ side I am clueless about how editions will fare in the future.
