I'd like to note that this draft has recently had its last call
period, and has been proposed for publishing early last month. I don't
know how long this publishing process usually takes, but it seems like
the WG considers the text final, so unless this would take months I
wouldn't mind keeping this patch around as "waiting for external
process to complete". Sure, it's earlier than the actual release of
the standard, but that wasn't a blocker for SQL features that were
considered finalized either.

Kind regards,
