I am looking forward to your contributions.

They do, by decreasing the dependency on C, and the lack of interest WG14 shows in improving C.
It is like gardening, slowly taking away all the paths bad weeds are still able to spoil the garden.
We might not remove all of them, however if they are only able to thrive on a little gardner corner surrouned by sand is already an improvement.
As I said before, insulting volunteers and also misrepresenting what is in the power of an ISO group of experts is bad style IMHO, but I also think you are misguided in thinking that moving away from C towards more complexity is good. My own IT security and sovereignty is more harmed than helped by this trend.
I have been contributing with C++ code since 1993, with bounded checked collection types in release code, and compiled managed languages since mid 2000's.
Even Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson themselves, went on with Alef, Limbo and Go.
I have been contributing by reducing my C, and C++ footprint on the planet, and security enforcement at various assignments.
