Why? 'We don't like it' isn't a technical reason.

Also, FFmpeg already uses plenty of C99 features and thus
requires a C99 compiler. What is so inherently evil about a boolean
type that it must not be allowed, but other C99 features are?

I am curious what compilers support all the C99 features used that
do not support stdbool.h, and are still actually used (even by 2 people).
