Is that so? Is it known why?
That's the impression I got from this thread. Correct me if I'm wrong.
delaying another library to encourage it would be counter productive.
I think helping the author to bring the library into Boost would do a better job to the community.
That's a good idea if someone is willing to do it and it looks like getting good results. Otherwise it's worthless.
If you consider Boost.Move, it's author is a major boost contributor and it's still taking it's time. Meanwhile, several libraries are using their own move emulation, which isn't ideal but it works fine.
Why do you say the author of Boost.Move is taking his time? I though the library was ready and waiting/looking for review managers volunters.
Is it really a good idea to delay a library that's apparently ready until three other libraries are fully reviewed and in trunk? That's just making a slow process slower.
I would not wait until the libraries are in trunk for a review. I will just plan the review of Boost.Task after the review of Boost.Move and Boost.Fiber. When I raised this discussion I expected that some review managers would volunter for these libraries, so I could planify my own. For the moment this has not been the case. :( Best,Vicente
