Well, there is a pretty long process between now and a final C++20
standard, including National Body comments and their resolutions.  If we
review out_ptr soon enough, we can still use that feedback.  The usable
feedback effectively only applies to fixing problems, not tweaks in the
design.  After C++20 finally ships, we're stuck -- even if we find big and
easy-to-fix problems.
