Because it hadn't been written, was in the reply to my original post!

Believe it or not, there are developers who are interested in the future 
of their languages.  If your work involves threading, you should be 
interested in the work being done on the soon to be released C++ 
standard.  If you aren't interested the C++ standard, the updates to the 
C standard should be of interest.
