What is the problem with having C++ into the platform? After all C++
does not bring more dependencies, and C++ does not implies C++ APIs.

Is there any written policy or is that just personnal anti-C++ FUDing
like it is pretty common in the Gnome world with mostly misinformed
statement about performance, etc ?
