This would indeed solve our short-term problem, but by promoting a nonstandard aligned_storage, aren't we doing our users a disservice by making it harder for them to migrate to the "real" aligned_storage?
It's non-standard only in the sense that it supports some "extra" features that aren't present in the TR, I admit users could end up using these features inadvertently though. For now I just want to get the tests running again. I guess in the long run I agree with you, but I'd like to hear from the authors of aligned_storage: it wouldn't be fair to more or less unilaterally deprecate their work! John.
