Here's the actual proposed text for this:

13. Removing some at-risk features early in CR

Working Group members may request early removal of features that the WG has
approved to be on the list of at-risk features for a specification in (or soon
to be in) Candidate Recommendation.

1. Marking as at risk
To be eligible to be dropped early, the feature must be approved by the Working
Group to be on the list of at-risk features prior to CR.

2. Nominating for early removal.
If an at-risk feature does not have a thorough test suite, and also does not
have even a single reasonably complete implementation, it may be nominated for
early removal. Nominations for early removal may be entered before entering CR,
or up to 3 months after entering CR.

3. Chair review
Chairs will review nominations to ensure that requests for early removal are
reasonable.

4. Opportunity to present an implementation or tests
If a nomination is reviewed and approved, advocates of the feature have up to 3
months from the date of the request to present a thorough test suite or a
reasonably complete implementation.

5. Early removal
If no one presents a thorough test suite or a reasonably complete
implementation by the date 3 months after the request is made, then such
features will be removed early. Such features may still be pursued in
standalone specifications, and may be reintegrated into the core specification
if they meet the CR exit criteria and have WG consensus.
