You mean that ISO and SC22 *also* have a time horizons that
extend to the fourth millennium? :-)

My personal opinion is that f2008 is being rushed too fast, but a delay
of 1000 years is probably more than I was thinking. :-) I do suspect
that full f2003 compilers will be out before the f2008 standard, but not
by as much as I'd like to see. It seems to me that the current schedule
allows zero opportunity for any actual experience with full-language
f2003 compilers to influence f2008. After all, the f2008 feature set
seems to be largely settled already, or at least enough so that changes
to it are likely to be resisted as being too late - but there are no
f2003 compilers yet.
