Re: [boost] on boost version numbers

I think you are underestimating the effort. There is QA, i.e. finding all the places the version number is used. I don't even want to think about library naming schemes and such.

It's used in two places: the Boost.Build and boost/version.hpp everything else (including library naming schemes etc, pick up the numbers from there. As has been said before, changing to 34.0 is no harder than changing to 1.43. John.
