If you're talking about DIP45, I think it has a good chance of 
being accepted, as Walter had positive feedback after Benjamin's 
talk (https://dconf.org/2016/talks/thaut.html around 38:00 on the 
video):

Walter (to Benjamin): You and I have argued about that export 
thing before and I think you've made pretty compelling case for 
it. You know what you're doing, so move forward with it and get 
it done.
