I understand that switching to <libdir>/all.hpp is a breaking change for those libraries neatly arranged like Fusion,
It doesn't have to be. boost/fusion.hpp could be left in place as a backward compatibility measure.
but I think the result will be cleaner. If the end result is thought sufficiently valuable, then the sooner the change is made, the fewer libraries will be broken. Delay just means more libraries may follow Fusion's lead and there will be more breakage. Thus, Boost needs to choose sooner than later.
I agree. We need to make sure we've thought the problem through, but after that, if we agree on a change, we should move boldly. -- Dave Abrahams Meet me at BoostCon: http://www.boostcon.com BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
