The proposed C++17 standard is still out on a formal vote by the ISO
member countries. The committee cannot really change the document while
it is being voted on.
Apparently the compiler teams consider this a bug in the standard and
not a feature request. Bugs can be patched.
In earlier revisions of the standard we have often seen a "fixed draft"
edition just after the standard was approved. This time it seems like
the tempo is higher and the committee is eager to start the work on the
next standard as soon as possible - which is right now.
