Which to most people means don't use them, since they could

Well, yes, if "any time" means "maybe after publication of a
later standard". Certainly not for at least five years.
More than that, actually. I don't think that the committee can
begin considering a new version of the standard before five
years after the previous version has been published. Which
hasn't happened yet.
No, the prohibition is on formal action. That doesn't mean that the
committee has to twiddle its thumbs for five years. C++2003 came out
five years after C++1998.
