Huh? I don't recall anybody including myself making this argument
before.

I _think_ "m" was referring to the "should one do C++ in the Windows
kernel" argument.

Could be. But this has nothing to do with the point I was making. Note that
I said nothing about "should".

Almost all of the drivers I write are in C++, and that
will continue to be the case.

I don't have a strong opinion on the matter. In any case it all depends on
what is meant by C++.
