No, we aren't particularly tied to `gnu89` or anything like that. We could actually go for `gnu11` already, since the minimum GCC and Clang support it. Even if a bit of code needs fixing, that shouldn't be a problem if someone puts the work. In other words, the kernel code is not frozen, nor are the features it uses from compilers. They do, in fact, change from time to time. > Thank you for checking. I found a free version that's only 6 weeks old: You're welcome!

Not sure what you mean. The standard does not evolve through implementations' agreement (although standardizing existing practice is one of the best arguments to back a change).
