IIRC, Phoenix was reviewed and accepted on the condition that it be reimplemented on top of Proto. That hasn't happened yet, and so Phoenix has not been merged to trunk. The old version of Phoenix still exists as a part Spirit. Hasn't this effort demonstrated that phoenix might not be as portable as the current implementation?
What effort?
And that's just it. There currently is no active development on Phoenix v3. It's not because it's particularly difficult -- there's a prototype and it works just fine. It's just a big job, and the developers in question have been busy with other things. The lack of a Protofied Phoenix is not indicative of any shortcoming of Proto or of Phoenix.
Joel Falcou took on the task. I'm confident he'll do a wonderful job. He's a lot more proficient with Proto than I. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://spirit.sf.net http://www.facebook.com/djowel Meet me at BoostCon http://www.boostcon.com/home http://www.facebook.com/boostcon
