I wouldn't like us to suddenly deprecate tr1 stuffs.  I'm all for
mechanisms that would make both specs implemented by single sources if
that is possible.

yes, there are tr2 stuff in the pipeline.  for example, the filesystem
library has been carefully sequestered in tr2, to be released after
C++0x :-(
