It wasn't shot down due to politics. It was shot down because it solved the wrong problem.

Yeah, that is why there was a paper created specifically to kill any other proposal, by the profiles folks with WG21 majority, and ironically profiles are just as annotation heavy, but since it is profiles, it is alright.

I call that politics, and in the end the most likely outcome is that by C++29 nothing will be delivered by the profiles group, that is any better than using clang-tidy already today.
