A secondary effect could be a very robust codebase, but maybe the C++ subset would need to be reduced because of compiler features.

Well, farg it, I want to run Kicad on an Apple ][. Or a Commodore 64. Or, wait for it: a DEC Pro350. Maybe I can dig up a Sinclair ZX-81. Because, you know, it should run EVERYWHERE, regardless of a platform’s ability to run it reasonably well.
