They are discussing "using namespace" in general, and provide no
exception or special treatment for std.

Let me quote the relevant passage:

  "In all headers, and in all implementation files before the last
   #include, always explicitly namespace-qualify all names. In
   implementation files after all #includes, you can and should
   write namespace using declarations and directives liberally.
   This is the right way to reconcile code brevity with modularity."

Please make up your mind. First "nobody should use 'using namespace
std'", and now the team can decide. I can agree with the latter, but
not the former.
