So do you think it's safe to remove the swap_adl_barrier namespace from http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/boost/utility/swap.hpp now?

Yes. As it doesn't do any good, it's better to remove it to avoid confusing people.
Just committed :-) http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/47920 Should we refer to your technique (making sure that std::swap is more specialized than boost::swap) as an "ADL barrier" as well? Or is a different term more appropriate? Is it a known C++ "idiom"? I'm asking because the term "barrier namespace" still needs to be replaced by something else, at two places within the documentation: http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/utility/swap.html http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/utility/swap/test/test_adl_barrier...
