My experience as a release manager (admittedly from a long time ago) was that release-critical issues will slip past even the most active library maintainers, and letting them know about it (and occasionally nagging) goes a long way towards "all green" release.
For all I can tell, it was not apparent to *anybody*, so there's nothing we could have done differently -- unless anybody has a pill that give supernatural powers.
The case of two major compilers shipping new and important versions just before a Boost release is unusual. If we end up taking an extra week to clear related issues, I don't see that as a problem. --Beman
