I also use both frameworks and I don't see the point in why they should be unified. Besides the fact that TBB is licensed under the GPL2 with runtime exception, which alone would make the unification an impossible thing. ;)
Well, it would be one license that we would have to deal with. I feel BOOST license has been more openly accepted in the corporate world. At my place of work, there is fear of using anything GPL even with the runtime exception. Last but not the least, since BOOST and TBB are heavily template based, having them under the same umbrella might influence common interfaces. Since BOOST has the Threads package, IMHO, TBB might also fit in. I am mainly focusing on the packaging and standardization of interfaces, documentation and availability under one roof. -dhruva -- Contents reflect my personal views only!
