Proposed resolution:

Change [thread.condition], p1:

Condition variables provide synchronization primitives used to block a thread until notified by some other thread that some condition is met or until a system time is reached. Class condition_variable provides a condition variable that can only wait on an object of type unique_lock<mutex>, allowing maximum efficiency on some platforms. Class condition_variable_any provides a general condition variable that can wait on objects of user-supplied lock types.

Moved to Tentatively Ready after 5 positive votes on c++std-lib.

"Class condition_variable provides a condition variable that can only wait on an object of type unique_lock" should say "...object of type unique_lock<mutex>"
