Evolution is also breaking work into parallel tracks. Minor language tweaks that don't require rework of the current library workload or is particularly complex on a track for the 2017 time frame, while stuff that has a big impact on the library or is otherwise complex or time consuming on a track for 2022.
It isn't clear yet which track modules belong to. That may end up depending on how many features get added.
This may be slightly OT, but do you know which track concepts belong to?
Tentatively 2022, although experimental compilers are likely to be available much sooner. There is concern that 2017 is too soon for language changes that have a major impact on the library and on users, and that C++11 changes need to be fully implemented and absorbed by the community first.
I have really been hoping that we don't have to wait so long for concepts...
Concepts work continues. See http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2012/n3351.pdf, A Concept Design for the STL. --Beman
