For starters, the economy has nothing to do with djgpp.  I don't get
paid to do this, nobody else does either.

Further, many changes in the standards are simply not compatible with
older standards.  GCC has command line options to honor previous
standards, but sometimes it's just not possible to do it by default.

Lastly, this is not something that the djgpp folks have any control
over.  GCC itself is managed by the GCC team (gcc.gnu.org), and they
must comply with the standards defined by the C++ team (ANSI/ISO).
