Local is ACCEPTED into Boost.
Finally, really big thanks to everyone for participating in the review and ancillary discussions. I attempted to be as transparent as possible in outlining the rationale for my decision above, but if you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask.

The explanation of the decision illustrates the strength of the boost review process. I makes clear why the process is not and cannot be strictly democratic - one man/one vote and all the disparate and conflicting factors which have to be taken into account to get the "best" or most justifiiable decision.
Absolutely right - the reviewers (often difficult) task is to *weight the reviews* - not just to count. Importance of reviews varies very widely from the key expert's considered opinion to the trivially informed comment. Good job done. Paul --- Paul A.
