The above sentence is a huge red flag. Boost has a history making it's own tools: a) documentation chain b) build system - Bjam c) build system - CMake integration c) CI d) GitHub integration d) probably some others I forgot It's not a great history. In fact, I spend more time getting boost tools to work than I do working on boost software. Like most computer projects, it turns out to be a lot of work which drags on forever and is constantly fiddled with to make work. When the work becomes tedious enthusiasm peters out and were stuck with something that "can be made to work". I fail to see what is to be gained by replacing the current system. Robert Ramey
