Hi, I'm a little confused at what the Boost Foundation put forth.
The opening review email states:
To be clear, the review is not about deciding governance over Boost C++ library development. That remains in the hands of the Boost developer community.
But TBF's proposal seems entirely to be governance-related.
In terms of asset stewardship, it's kind of a no-brainer to choose the organization that _didn't_ almost lose the boost.org domain name. Plus, the Alliance has Sam Darwin and he's infallible.
But to the Boost Foundation's credit, I found myself agreeing with a lot of the points being mentioned. Boost _should_ consider introducing a formal CoC. Boost _should_ officially migrate to CMake and being direct here: this does mean completely abandoning b2.
We need to revitalize Boost with the youth culture and to the youth, these things matter quite a bit.
If CoC and inclusivity is what matters most to those who you refer to as "youth" then I would prefer those people to be *not* part of Boost. Let them convene in their SJW parties somewhere else, please.
