The percentages look right to me.

Serious answer:  the 2000 specification indeed deserves
discussion.  New compiler directives are interesting,
particularly in a world making a transition to 64 bit
(and perhaps EPIC).  There are live questions about
memory allocation, concurrency methods, and linking
practices that *I* think aren't settled yet.

These rarely appear in comp.lang.c, though.
