The one time I managed to cajole someone [from WG21] into [submitting a library for] a Boost review, it was rejected because people didn't see the point of it. I'm still not sure why that was.
I'll note that I wrote a review where I could not justify accepting it, and all of my points had nothing to do with "didn't see the point of it" https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2019/06/246514.php
I, on the other hand, felt that there was insufficient motivation offered to justify the addition of the library. I face this problem with many reviews. A proposal says, "Here's what I wrote, do you accept it?" and there is no motivation saying what problem it is solving, if the problem is worth solving, are there alternative ways of solving the problem. In other words, I expect of an author, not only the implementation and tests and documentation, but also having done research. This is a lot to expect. I can imagine why people do not want to go through all this. Regards, &rzej;
