Proposed resolution:

This wording is relative to N4971.

  1. Modify [expected.void.assign] as indicated:

    constexpr expected& operator=(expected&& rhs) noexcept(see below);
    

    -?- Constraints: is_move_constructible_v<E> is true and is_move_assignable_v<E> is true.

    […]

    -6- Remarks: The exception specification is equivalent to is_nothrow_move_constructible_v<E> && is_nothrow_move_assignable_v<E>.

    -7- This operator is defined as deleted unless is_move_constructible_v<E> is true and is_move_assignable_v<E> is true.

Set status to Tentatively Ready after six votes in favour during reflector poll.

It seems intended that copy functions of std::optional, std::variant, and std::expected are conditionally deleted, while move functions are constrained. However, the move assignment operator of std::expected<cv void, E> is currently conditionally deleted, which is inconsistent.
