The C++ standards committee's Library Working Group has proposed a schedule for library changes and extensions:
* October 2005: cutoff date for C++0x major library proposals * October 2006: cutoff date for library TR2 proposals * April 2007: cutoff date for C++0x library clean-up papers
The usual rule-of-thumb is that new library components go in TR2, while changes to existing components go in C++0x. The LWG will consider exceptions to the rule on a case-by-case basis.
A threading library is an interesting specimen. Is it a C++0x or a TR2 thing? Given that the cutoff dates are a whole year apart...
