Re: [boost] Removing Bind placeholders from the global namespace

This is one case in which the trunk/release procedures don't work well as-is unless someone volunteers to produce a patch against all of Boost that at once moves the placeholders into namespace boost::placeholders _and_ fixes all errors that this would cause.

This amounts to a breaking interface change. How would this situation have been better (or different) under the old system?

It'd be easier to split the work: I put the breaking change in and then the libraries are fixed one by one. :-)

easier than? I don't see any other way to do such a thing. That is though the work might be split up differently, the actual work seems to me to be exactly the same - and impossible to avoid with any kind of system. Robert Ramey
