It is still under discussion and has not yet been resolved.  I expect
that it will be resolved this year.

It is a hard problem, with excellent arguments both in favor of and
against all solutions proposed so far.

Once it has been resolved, it may take a while for existing
implementations to catch up to any needed changes.  So the best
advice so far is still to avoid dependencies in your code on how
long a temporary will live.
