Do you think removing the dependencies of Boost.Ratio and Boost.Chrono on Boost MPL has value?
Maybe in principle, but probably not in practice, at least as far as modular installation via bpm is concerned. At this point, installing pretty much any module brings in MPL, via TypeTraits or otherwise, so I would focus on more important things if I were you. :-)
Given that most of those dependencies are only to mpl::bool_, int_ and if_ are we back to wanting a "core mpl" lib again? BTW the dependency on MPL would be no bad thing were it not for that fact that it depends on a lot of other stuff such as preprocessor etc. John.
