Something not appreciated outside the committee is that both the library proposer(s), and their experienced users, often also want substantial refactoring after their empirical experience. It makes sense to make use of that experience rather than ignoring it.
You're saying that the committee is involved in careful and thoughtful innovation, which "we" should appreciate more. I'm saying that the committee should not innovate, it should merely observe the fact that a given library has established itself as the defacto standard in a given domain, then rubber-stamp it in the standard without changes.
