So you do have a philosophical disagreement with the expectations of the group. You think you ought to be able to use that development model, but everyone else expects library authors with boost dependents to test the dependents before they commit changes.
I think that even existing system can be easily improved by testing all components against release brunch version of dependents. After all this is all everyone cares about. Once this passes library author is free to push the changes into release branch.
That's fine until you push a new version of Boost.Test to the release branch and then it's the release branch that breaks.... John.
