Here is a concrete proposal: During stage 1 (meaning now),
* require a C++ compiler as bootstrapping compiler
* allow people to use C++ for *NEW* functionality.
* don't allow conversion of existing working code unless it is
required for NEW functionality
* postpone conversions to later major releases.
