I'm ok with removal, and there seems to be a consensus.

|  Folks,
|  
|  I’d like to reach consensus on Proposal #77 ”Deprecating STM invariant
|  mechanism”:

|  
|  This proposal is about removing a rarely used feature that is arguably
|  buggy and also imposes significant complexity. I think, removing ideas
|  that turn out to be not working properly or simply aren’t sufficiently
|  useful for the complexity they impose is an important part of the
|  process. The STM invariant mechanism appears to fit that bill. Hence,
|  I suggest to accept this proposal.
|  
|  Please let me know if you disagree; otherwise, I will assume tacit
|  approval.
|  
|  Cheers,
|  Manuel
