I get the impression that the complex job of creating
a standard (having already included so much) is creating
a familiar vacuum.  The vacuum is composed of all of the
stuff that may be good technically, but cannot make the
cut of doable in the schedule.  For large software projects,
a major gap is reduced by there being a second effort
underway that overlaps the first, to flesh out those things
that should be there but could not.

There needs to be different amounts of inertia for
changes in the language and natural completion of
the library contents.  The language needs more inertia
than natural completion (or extension, if you prefer)
of the libraries.  But it seems that it may be the other
way around, because of the difference in the amount
of work involved.

A second tier of effort may be needed here as 5 years
is too long.  Actually, a second tier WILL happen.
it is just the matter of whether it has official significance
now (or merely usurps it later).  This kind of vacuum never
lasts.

Just some thoughts

Good Day
