1) What is currently the major version number appears to have lost all its meaning. Why isn't it dropped, making the next release '34' instead of '1.34' ?
I agree, the use of the "1." is questionable. However, we could reserve 2.x.y for a version of Boost that does not contain any workarounds for ancient, non-conforming compilers, or for a similar clean-cut scenario.
I've the same opinion. (The Apache project also used 1.xx for a very long time; and when they did finally move to 2.xx it was very minor from the typical user's point of view). Darren
