--- Comment #3 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I already replied on the mailing list. These are inline specifically so we
don't tie ourselves to symbols exported from the DSO before the features are
stable.

They aren't going to be considered stable for GCC 11 so your suggestion is to
disable everything, get no usage experience to help improve it, then at some
point re-enable it when it's no more mature than it is now. I don't see how
that helps anything.

We've done things this way for years. When C++20 support is no longer
experimental is when the ABI will be fixed.
