We have not made a definite decision that there will be no more 
corrigenda for Fortran 2008. It is just that this looks likely. I hope 
we can maintain the distinction between an interp (an ambiguity or 
unintended consequence) and a wart (an irregularity). Anyway, interps 
that have full J3 and WG approval can be added to the new standard 
without appearing in a corrigendum, if they reach this state in time.

Cheers,

John.
