But if you maintain binary compatibility can you not just compile the old code with --std=c89 and then link the new code compiled with --std=c2x ?

I don't understand why these committees are so dead set on maintaining backwards compatibility with existing code when most compilers will support flags for compiling with old standards anyway. As long as you don't break binary compatibility I really don't see the issue.
