I don't know what the situation is with the C++ development. But in general, based on my experience on standardization work, it's really hard to stop a committee from inventing new features when the members get paid to participate and make an impact. Maybe exaggerated but sometimes I got the feeling that some proposal existed only so that the presenter was able to justify a week in a nice meeting location like Hawaii.
