To simplify introspection with library traits that use the
compiler "__traits()" someone has to remove the restrictions
related to protection attributes. This is not a new topic.
Without this, the new library traits won't work well and
people won't use them.
IIRC, it was already agreed that they had to be removed and
would be soon, but we couldn't do it right away either because
of code breakage or because it was a point release that was
trying to get out the door. I'm thinking that it's supposed to
be fixed in 2.073, but I'm not 100% sure..

I don't known what did you decide in intern but when the
discussion between users was hot (just after version 2.071.1 I
think) I've proposed that:
https://github.com/BBasile/DIPs/blob/3d5e3f81c541c6e23c69555a230b4d42a7bb6de6/DIPs/DIP8484.md
There's no need to DIP this, the idea is just to add an optional
parameter that remove the compliance with the protection
attributes. Anyway if this or any alternative is planned for the
next version that's perfect.
