How do you think it feels for new Boost users to encounter two libraries with virtually identical use and interface? I think that is a bad thing in itself, and makes Boost look less coherent. I.e., if these two libraries were up for review now, would we accept them both?
This was discussed just recently in the two geometry library reviews (both accepted) and the majority view was that it is a good thing to have many libraries even if they overlap.
MSM and Statechart do not merely overlap, the do the exact same thing: letting the developer specify and execute a state machine. /David
