"What we have now" for most users is what we shipped in all previous releases up to 4.8, which allows this: std::vector<int> v = {}; Rejecting that is a pretty serious regression. The explicitness of the container constructors had already been questioned by LWG 2193 when we made the change, so I consider it a mistake to make an breaking change to conform to wording that is potentially defective. I'm going to restore the previous constructors (so 4.9 will stick with what we have now) until the DR is resolved one way or another.
