I understood your joke, but we just found out a few hours ago what happened in Hamburg, and while neither of these features made it yet, they're seemingly going in opposite directions:
pattern matching had a poll in forwarding to the CWG, and it was mostly in favor, though enough were against it to not reach consensus
profiles had a poll in forwarding to the CWG, and it was split down the line in terms of for/against.
Given the previous votes on profiles being nearly unanimously for, I'm interested to see what people have to say about what went on.

That is the thing with committee driven languages, with multiple vendor implementations.
Not everyone is on the same room voting for the same features, and not everyone is implementing the features in any specific order.
By the way, I would rather have Safe C++ than profiles, but do not vote, so whatever.
