I'm sure I'm being too harsh in my interpretation of the arguments that
were made, but the above acutally sounds to me an awful lot like
arguments that were given by the "for" side on f2008. I strenuously
argued that f2008 was way too early because there wasn't yet experience
with f2003 when f2008 was being developed. I recall that my objection
was met with arguments that the new stuff in f2008 (most notably
coarrays) didn't have much interaction with f2003, so it didn't need
f2003 experience.
I didn't like that argument, but that's what I recall hearing.
Sure sounds to me like the same thing you mention above, but with a
positive spin put on it.
