That's not what the post said. He didn't say that C99 offered no advantages to anyone. He said no one could come up with benefits to the curl project that would be gained by moving to C99, therefore the risk introduced by doing so was not worth it for now (my paraphrase, obviously).
It sounds to me like a perfectly good reason to stay with the current standard for that project.
