I do however agree with your larger point that boost does not SCALE well.
Ten years from now, its highly likely that boost will become too large to manage.
People will eventually start asking to distribute boost in parts, where the "core" libraries are separated from the "experimental" libraries.
Oh, I don't think this will take ten years. People are already asking for this, for the past number of years. :-) Especially people who are creating packages for distribution. http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/09/93905.php http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2009/01/147260.php http://sodium.resophonic.com/boost-cmake/1.40.0.cmake2/doc/modularize_librar...
