Everyone that cares about security hates VLAs, that is why ISO acknowledged the mistake of placing them into C99 and removed them from the standard in C11.

Also why Google's Kernel Self Preservation project for Linux has sponsored the 2 year effort that it took to clean up Linux from VLA usage.

You arguments for VLA adoption are meaningless when companies like Google and Microsoft are voting with their wallets against them, and WG14 has acknowledged their mistake.
