I know this opinion is unpopular and contradict with a core value of the C standardization committee but I personally think at some point, C standard should abandon supporting the legacy codebase. I think bool and stdint definitions should be available as part of the standard feature set and shouldn't need including their respective headers. These and some other features are available at the core of every modern language but C, and C has to provide them via other means. Is the sentiment of discontinuing legacy support shared within the committee, by any proportion?
