Proposed resolution (approved by CWG 2025-11-04):

Change in 13.7.8 [temp.alias] paragraph 2 as follows:

... [Note 1: An The alias template name is never not deduced from such a type (13.10.3.6 [temp.deduct.type]). —end note] ...
Date: 2025-11-02.00:00:00

(From submission #786.)

The note in 13.7.8 [temp.alias] paragraph 2 is incorrect because an alias template A can indeed be deduced from a type of the form T<A> (where T is a template with a type template template parameter).
