New proposed Strategy Document

[Joshua O'Leary]

Hi,
It mentions C++ programs as being unsuitable, but this is clearly not the case as core components
(such as apt and software-centre, and now even gcc) are coded in C++, in addition to python being used quite heavily.
Whilst C is a great language (I often code in it myself), these restrictions seem a bit unnecessary.
