We concluded that we don’t want to be responsible for the stdlib breaking compatibility or compatibility between libstdc++ and libc++. So in that respect, we should be able to more freely to use more of the standard library, as long as the parts we’re using are supported on all our platforms. But I agree with Thiago, that we should have this written down in a QUIP, ideally with a list of the classes we consider ok to use in our APIs.
