WITHDRAWN: C++ Ecosystem International Standard

We propose to publish an International Standard that specifies formats, processes, definitions, and so on, that facilitates the interoperation of the tools and systems that implement, and interface with, the C++ International Standard (ISO/IEC 14882).

We hereby withdraw this paper from WG21 consideration. And hence are halting current efforts to publish an Ecosystem IS within the WG21 group in the near term.

After almost three years of work it has become apparent that the limitations of WG21 and ISO are insurmountable in the near term. And continuing to use the standards development process of WG21, and hence of ISO, would jeopardize the timeline and accessibility goals of our efforts.

We will continue development of the Ecosystem standard externally. ^[1] We will consider making the Ecosystem standard available through ISO, and other standards bodies, at a future time.
