The spec claims that "all non-sta­tic non-pri­vate non-tem­plate
mem­ber func­

virtual.
But from what I recall, the plan is to leave package as non-virtual.
So, is
that indeed the case and the spec needs to be fixed, or is package
going to be
made virtual at some point?

I think virtuality and package should have nothing to with one another.
package is supposed ot express visibility, not change behavior.

100% agree.

Same here, though importantly the compiler can use the information to 
optimize away virtuals that cannot be overridden.
