The April meeting deadline is not for the next version of the Standard 
Library; rather it is for the Library Technical Report.

While nothing has been formally decided, I'm personally hoping that the LWG 
will start accumulating proposals for a 2nd Technical Report right away.

Proposals accepted for a second TR might miss the next revision of the 
standard, but they still would be on track for eventual inclusion.

Regardless of the details, please don't give up on this or any other 
valuable work just because it isn't going to be ready for the April C++ 
committee meeting. Rather, concentrate on getting it ready for Boost review 
and acceptance. That's a big step forward for a library. Standardization 
can come later.
