description
Ray Dillinger writes:
The constraint on WG1 [that "any working WG1 program is also a working WG2 program"] was in place before the WG2 standard became known. Indeed, that standard still has not become known and we are now taking ratification votes finalizing WG1's work. If one design must be dependent on the other, then it should be the second produced, not the first.

This objection is untimely to say the least. In addition, I believe that history shows that developing a large language and then subsetting it has a higher overall risk of failure; if the large language is never completed, the small language cannot exist.
