The spec claims that "all non-sta­tic non-pri­vate non-tem­plate

virtual.
But from what I recall, the plan is to leave package as non-virtual.
So, is
that indeed the case and the spec needs to be fixed, or is package
going to be
made virtual at some point?

Is anyone even using "package"? I've basically never used it.


I use it. It's useful when you wish to create higher-level wrappers 
around stuff. (Interestingly, I only ever use package for constructors.)
