If Boost chooses to change a namespace name, the old name can be retained, via namespace alias, for a few versions, marking it deprecated upon the introduction of the new name. That makes the transition to a "better" name easier.
It's not that simple; we'll break specializations if we ever do that.
How? (I'm assuming that code within Boost will change to use the new name.)
Users are allowed to write specializations; they must write them within the same namespace as the primary template. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
