My issue with exceptions is also practical. If they didn't introduce significant stability issues, I'd have no problem. As it stands, it's impossible to write robust software that makes use of C++ exceptions.

I agree, this is the sensible solution.
What stability issues?
Unchecked exceptions will eventually lead into programs crashing because some developer forgot to catch specific type of exception somewhere.
That seems like a better outcome than continuing when an error happened while thinking everything succeeded?
And developers never forget to check error codes.
