Here's a relevant link:

Andrei - "Walter plans to change the documentation to reflect the demise of
delete 
and scope storage class."

I agree to some extent that planned changes should not necessarily be in the
specification, but they definitely need to be somewhere, and I see no harm in
at least putting a note in the specification that these features are scheduled
for deprecation.

Currently, the only way to know about the status of scope and delete is to be a
regular on the news groups. This is, of course, unacceptable. There needs to be
some authoritative reference for people to refer to, so that people can learn
the language without reading the news groups.
