JLS7 is ~600 pages; the latest draft I could find (because apparently the actual standard isn't available online, a problem in itself) for C++11 was over 1200.
I very much doubt a version bump will stem C++'s decline; while it contains plenty of improvements there are no really radical changes. What are the changes that you think will make people who chose C or go over C++03 switch to C++11?
I really don't see where someone would pick C over C++ when starting a new project if not either due to 1) lack of (good enough) C++ implementation or 2) lack of confidence in using C++(this is personally a problem for me, as I've been programming in C much more than C++ and still feel unfamiliar with lots of things, the least not being the object oriented paradigm). Of course personal taste may differ, and this is understandable; I'd prefer more compact language but right now the domain I work in has no alternatives.
