As a straw man, I'll make this suggestion:
- Boost.Test is officially deprecated in the next release - Its documentation, such as it is, is removed from the release after that - Meanwhile, other tests in Boost that use this library are rewritten to use a different mechanism - The code is removed from Boost thereafter
Isn't Boost.Test's only problem the fact that other Boost libraries are tested against the trunk rather than the release version?
No; for me it's about teachability, learnability, and certainty.
Isn't that something the modularized Boost is supposed to fix?
