Lambda support is a very active topic under discussion in the committee's 
Evolution Working Group.

My sense is that a lot of committee members would like lambda support, but 
that work hasn't progressed far enough yet to be able to say for certain 
whether or not lambda support will make it into C++0x. Remember, too, that 
it is going to be very hard or impossible to push through a core language 
change unless compiler implementors are comfortable with it and there is at 
least one existing compiler implementation.
