There is a technical specification, so hopefully it will be standard C in the next version. And given that gcc and clang already have implementatians (and gcc has had a way to do it for a long time, although the syntax is quite different).
It is not yet a technical specification, just a draft for one, but this will hopefully change this year, and the defer patch has not been merged into GCC yet. So I guess it will become part of C at some point if experience with it is good, but at this time it is an extension.
We will likely decide in March that it will became an ISO TS. Given the simplicity of the feature and its popularity, I would assume that it will become part of the standard eventually.

I was under the wrong assumption that defer was approved for the next standard already.

That’s great news!
