I believe the answer is 4 (1-3 are ridiculous, given that both Nathan and I
were in the room).

There was at least one person who told me ahead of time they would have
voted "no" if they could have been in the room, but because it was
extremely unlikely they could escape their room (and in fact they
couldn't), they didn't have a vote.

This proposal was not seen by SG12, even though it clearly has to do with
defining previous ub.

There was a 93 message thread on this very thing in 2016 <
http://lists.isocpp.org/lib-ext/2016/10/3138.php>, so clearly more than
just "the people in the room reviewing every LEWG paper" have an interest
in this.

Talking with folks afterwards, I know that there are a few people who would
have voted "no" had they been in the room, but I readily admit there is a
non-zero chance that some or all of those folks might have just been
humoring me while I was ranting. :-)

Honestly, I'd rather discuss it instead of going through the dance of
objecting during whatever plenary this gets put forward and voting on it
there.
