iac, the deadline for new libraries in 1.51 is today, but from my side, boost.lockfree could be included as it is now. however if the release managers consider it as too late, i'm don't have a problem with waiting for another release cycle ...
It feels a little late to me, we normally try to sort out documentation, inspect errors etc. before merging. But see what the other release managers think.
since boost.atomic is now in trunk, too, i prefer to wait for 1.52 to make use of boost.atomic instead of providing a private copy of it ... i think, that is much cleaner, despite delaying the release by another few months ...
If you're going with boost.atomic, (which I believe you should) then you'll definitely need to wait as it broke lockfree on MSVC 10. Thing no longer compile.
can you post the compile error, so that helge can have a look?
