Where did you read that the issue was the GNU implementation lagging behind?
Basically a tool to write better libraries that give better compilation warnings upon failure. Incomprehensible compilation errors were the big failure of the STL, and this was going to fix that.
All the big names were pushing Concepts, including Stroustrup. Apparently the issue was that the GNU implementation was just too slow and they didn't expect compiler writers to do better soon.
