C++0x will no longer have concepts. Opinions? How will this affect you?
At the July 2009 C++0x meeting in Frankfurt, it was decided to remove concepts from C++0x. Personally, I am disappointed but I'd rather have an implementable C++0x than no C++0x. They said they will be added at a later date. What are your opinions on this decision/issue? How will it affect you? ...
C++0X Concepts are gone. Which other features should go too?

Hypothetical, formerly-C++0x concepts questions
(Preamble: I am a late follower to the C++0x game and the recent controversy regarding the removal of concepts from the C++0x standard has motivated me to learn more about them.
