The reason is historical. When Sasha was in MySQL, STL and exceptions just were too buggy for us to use - in a heavily multi-threaded code of MySQL. It's no longer true. We use exceptions - although not in the server code, but OQGraph engine uses them. And STL - MySQL server uses STL now and in 10.0 we're merging this code, so we're getting it now too.
