I think its not a good idea to remove auto_ptr, because so much old code depends on it. I am not a fan of it, I understand why unique_ptr is superior and I do use unique_ptr now.
But until 2011 it was the only choice in stdc++ and all C++ gurus recommended it, besides its flaws.
Without thinking about it for long, I presume the upgrade path is to replace all occurances of auto_ptr by unique_ptr. Assuming this works, could auto_ptr become a typedef for unique_ptr in c++17?
