Even Stroustrup (in his last book if my memory is right) says that in some limited environnements you just have to use a subset of C++. It's not bad, it's flexibility.

I don't gringe that much on the no exveption rules, but the no ctor but init() method feels like 1980's bad C++ lessons.

What would you do if you had to do non-trivial (i.e. something that might fail) initialization in constructor but you weren't allowed to throw an exception? This rule is an obvious consequence of banning exceptions. And en exception ban is a consequence of having hundreds of millions lines of non-exception-safe code.
