Citujem z Trip Report: March 2010 ISO C++ Standards Meeting – Removed Export Template:

For context, the only reason we’re even considering this is because Edison Design Group (EDG), the only company to ever implement export, is recommending export be removed or deprecated. Recall that back in the 1990s the committee originally voted the feature in over EDG’s objections in the first place, then in the late 1990s and early 2000s EDG graciously and gallantly went on to invest enormous effort to implement the feature in order to conform to the standard, and so the committee was loath to punish them again by now removing the feature on them. However, given the passage of time, EDG reports that their experience in the field has been that nearly no one actually uses the feature, and that it would be right (and okay with EDG) to deprecate or remove it.
