Considered by whom, exactly? Those whose hobby is emailing the Linux kernel 
list asking why the kernel isn't written in C++?

Look, you asked a question that Matt has answered many, many times on this 
list. A brief Google will turn up, e.g. https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/mpm/moot. It's common mailing list courtesy to search list 
archives and elsewhere for common questions before asking for help. Matt's 
reply indicated clearly, and with some humour, that this has been done to 
death many times already.
