Thank you for the extensive report.

I have one question that will help me (and possibly others) prioritize 
things better for October.

What is the general procedure for evolving TR1 (now 0x) components further, 
and in particular, what is the fate of N1851, "Improving Usability and 
Performance of TR1 Smart Pointers", especially the allocator support 
section?

In other words, should we spend significant time on improving (for example) 
shared_ptr, or should we focus on new, TR2 things, now that std::shared_ptr 
is almost set in stone?
