See N2516, "Draft April 2020 meeting minutes".

First there was a "Straw Poll: Do we want to make any changes to
intmax_t? 12-5-0 (passes)".

Then all proposals for changes to or replacements for intmax_t failed in
the individual straw polls.

Then there was a "Straw Poll: Should the committee pursue something
along the lines of deprecating intmax_t as a type? 7-3-5 (passes)"
