Clearly *most* people should not be interested in C99, because *most* 
people aren't C programmers.

But taking the subset of people who are C programmers, I opine that 
almost all of them should be interested in the current official 
standard, whether implemented or not by their current compiler maker, 
because they will at some point almost certainly encounter C99 
constructs and will need to understand them well enough not to break the 
code.
