<snip>, On a related topic, there are a number of libraries that haven't been accepted into Boost which have Boost in their name, (perhaps unintentionally) implying that they have been accepted. It'd be good if the Boost community made a ruling that future library submissions include in their name (and C++ namespaces) "Booster"/"Boostable"/some-other-variant, so as to indicate it's "not yet official" status. Once accepted, a simple find and replace would be required to reflect the status change.
I think this is a very good idea -- reserving the "Boost" name for libraries actually accepted to Boost. Perhaps we could establish a convention. For example, the Qt community labels "playground/speculative" projects with a "Qt" prefix (such as "QtSomeLib"), and after acceptance into Qt, they drop the "t" (and the fully accepted-and-supported library becomes "QSomeLib").
