Not to my knowledge.

Ok. That means we would have a minimum shippable thing, even if things
go down afterwards.

Well, that needs very serious work. For instance, it seems

[1.0

is a valid /version-range/ per the current wording.
Is 01.00002 supposed to be a valid version number?
(Note leading zeros.)

Also, all mentions of grammar non-terminals seem to use regular italics
in the text, not the \grammarterm slanted font.

Also, I recommend to use Unicode character designations for non-alphanumeric
characters that want to be highlighted, avoiding ambiguities with surrounding
meta-markup:

"separated by a period (.)" -> "separated by U+002E FULL STOP".

That would be a good idea; the Working Draft is what's distributed
alongside the New Work Item Proposal. On the other hand, promising
more than you can deliver isn't good, either.

Hm... It would be good if the description of the "Boostrap" process
in https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2023/p2656r2.html#_bootstrap
would clearly point out that LWG and CWG are involved; after all
EWG and LEWG are also explicitly mentioned.

It is unclear to me whether CWG (and even more so LWG) would be the
right group to review wording for the Ecosystem IS. On the other hand,
I'm not seeing WG21 passing a straw poll without one of those groups
having reviewed the material.

At what point do you anticipate that wording review for CWG and/or LWG
will be on the agenda? Please add that explicitly to the "Timeline";
this review might generate substantial load for CWG.

Oh, and I'm seeing "--std-info" as a command-line option. I thought
Microsoft, for instance, is using the /xxx option format. Has the use
of "--xxx" been socialized with Microsoft?
