Filing a DIP is like filing a police report: once it's in the

Guess there's no point in writing another one then is there? Or
how many "police reports" do you need to file before the "police"
change their decision?
I repeat: there is a GUARANTEED mechanism to get us to work on
binding rvalues to ref parameters. GUARANTEED. This is so
powerful, it's disconcerting. You need to get a DIP written in
all detail, get it through community review, and then we have
no choice but to look into it.

"Approved conditionally"

*crosses fingers* it's been 4 years but maybe this is the year
this actually happens.
Anyways there's a whole list of DIPs that didn't get any
attention, they were just dumped. I know a new DIP processes was
created but not even a quick pass through of the DIPS with some
comments of whether it would be worth migrating the DIP to the
new process or not. I mean there's one DIP that was accepted but
the PR implementing it has been sitting in the queue for 4 years.
