+<p>The "end game" of a Technical Specification (TS) is to have the features in there added to a future version of the C++ standard. When this happens, the TS can be retired. Sometimes, only part of at TS is added to the standard, and the rest of the features may be incorporated into the next version of the TS.</p>
+
+<p>Adoption leaves library implementors with two implementations of a feature, one in namespace <tt>std</tt>, and the other in namespace <tt>std::experimental</tt>. The first one will continue to evolve (via issues and papers), while the other will not. Gradually they will diverge. It's not good for users to have two (subtly) different implementations of the same functionality in the same library.</p>
+
+<p>As features are adopted into the main standard, we will implement them in namespace <tt>std</tt>, and then remove the versions in <tt>std::experimental</tt>. The removal will not happen immediately, because that would be unhelpful for users - giving them no chance to update their code.</p>
+
+<p>The rule of thumb that libc++ will follow is: <b>one year</b>. <br/>One year after we ship an implementation of a feature in <tt>std</tt>, we will remove it from <tt>std::experimental</tt>.</p>
+
+<p>A specific example: The first release of clang/libc++ that officially supported C++17 was 5.0. For the 7.0 release (one year after 5.0), we will remove the features that were adopted into C++17 from the TSes, <i>and</i> that were present in namespace <tt>std</tt> in the 5.0 release.</p>
