Fair enough, three years might be more of an upper bound than a lower bound. And yeah, the issue of having to wait is common to standard-based processes, but I've never seen anything else based on a standard so frequently have people need to jump in and try to dissuade people that issues matter because of the rolling timeline so frequently, regularly, and for such a long time as C++. Obviously it would be unreasonable to expect it to become perfect and not need any more changes, but like, I was hearing people complain about various aspects of `unique_ptr` a decade ago, and it seems like we're not even past that yet.
