They can't be metrics because they are vague to the point they are 
essentially meaningless.  We are referring to a set of features which might 
be useful to some people, anf if C11 isn't supported then we simply can't 
rely on them to exist.  

You can spend hours discussing your indifference towards the features 
introduced in C11, but you need to understand that that's only your 
subjective opinion on a subject.  Meanwhile, depriving the world of those 
features is something which isn't adequately justified with an uninformed 
"meh".
