Most uses of C & C++ that haven't migrated to well-supported 
garbage-collected languages by now are those that cannot work 
with a garbage collector and/or are heavily tied to an existing 
C++ code base. Offering something much better for that 
niche/domain would be a great opportunity, and not a small niche.

The point is to focus efforts for one release on fully addressing 
what that domain requires. The next release can focus on another 
domain. And so on.
