Good to see C++ finally trying to deprecate more, long overdue.
I doubt anything will get done even in 10 years.
The average C++ industrial codebase don't build with the latest
compiler, or even any static analyzer, and has its own particular
build system.
It is already a big trouble to upgrade C++ compilers even if
nothing in the language is changing. D numerous, tiny
interchangeable releases are a big asset when compared to the
whole compiler-tied-to-IDE-tied-to-OS-releases which is what
things are in C++ land.
The idea that you could bring the C++ community to use an
automatic upgrade tool, or to get everyone to follow optional
"Core Guidelines" is optimistic.
