Frankly, looking in from the outside, while I'd probably use a different
vocabulary, I think I share the feeling.
Nobody wants to have the C++ maintainers not to have a say.
What irritates people is that at least some C++ maintainers use their say
in a way that certainly *looks* like a barely disguised way to make the
life harder for Objective-C++ on entirely nontechnical grounds. This is
beginning to look rather ugly.
As someone who looks forward to using Objective-C++ on Linux and MinGW
(i.e., in entirely Apple-free contexts), this worries me.
