Cyclone was supposed to be a safer dialect of C. Shouldn’t it have replaced C by now, while also adding some improvements and reducing the burden of legacy code?

I read their webpage, but it is really vague. From a legacy point-of-view, wouldn’t it be better to incrementally add better language features, and if there happens to be a huge, breaking paradigm shift, initiate necessary refactoring of code base?
Basically, what I mean is something like:
C --> Cyclone --> improved dialect v1 --> improved dialect v2 --> Memory-safe unintelligible future dialect
Who do you expect to be adding more features?
