Sure, but usefulness is not the only criteria we use to decide that a library is ready to be part of a Boost release. A library could even be badly broken on all platforms and still useful.
Let's stop dealing in abstracts. Are there any Boost libraries that would have problems passing all tests (except those like the native typeof tests that use nonstandard features) cleanly on all the proposed release platforms?
Not completely concrete, but I'm thinking about libraries specific for mobiles, and what you already mentioned: ones using nonstandard features. It looks we are agreeing that libraries that fail on proposed release platforms could be adhered to boost anyway. Isn't it?
