This is a misrepresentation of what happened. 
I can give you an alternative version but your attitude in this thread does not lead me to think you'd listen.

This is not true.

If all you want is C++14 and a warning in LLVM 8.0, the path was fairly clear to me: properly address reviews, don't ignore questions when they don't serve your agenda, and finally don't rush patches when there are controversial points unadressed.
If you think that's how an open source project should work, I think we'll run into more dead-ends.
