There is no version of the C++ standard that lacks features like exceptions, RTTI, and fully functional templates.

If the compiler isn't implementing all of a particular standard then it's not standard C++. If an implementation has no interest in standard C++, why give those implementations a seat at the table in the first place? Those implementations can continue on with their C++ fork without mandating requirements to anyone else.
