Check out the status reports to the Apache Board of Directors (http://stdcxx.apache.org/status/):

(05/11)

      No changes. Stdcxx continues to be dormant. There was a flurry of emails
      on the stdcxx-dev list suggesting continued interest from the same two
      parties (ARM and Sun) but no new work.

The Attic is where retired Apache projects go.

(02/2012)

      A vote to move stdcxx to the Attic failed. The majority of stdcxx
      contributors voted in favor of continuing to maintain the project.
      Several inactive committers stepped up to help with the project.

I do not think that this was a surprise. Regular status reports stopped completely after February 2012. It's also notable that Chris Bergström was proposed for the new chair position, see http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/stdcxx-dev/201306.m...



Seems to have been telegraphed since at least November 2010: http://stdcxx.apache.org/status/2010-11.txt
