Following long discussion in SG1 about P3255R1
https://lists.isocpp.org/parallel/2025/09/4624.php
We agreed that the notes about "shared memory" is vague and cannot be relied on. The standard does not mention anywhere about two processes with shared memory. This note will have conflicts with the meaning of lock free that is proposed in P3255R1. Since this note is not useful, let's remove it editorially.
Can Olivier Giroux verify the change?
