To me, it suggests that a more incremental approach is needed, where the focus is on small self-contained chunks of functionality that can be reviewed and integrated into boost quickly. (Obviously it's also important to keep the big picture in mind, but aiming too high is a clear recipe for failure.) (One aspect of this is that it may be important to recognize that the API won't necessarily be 'right' in the first iteration. Having to aim for the ultimate (generic) unicode API upfront (knowing that any future API changes will meet heavy resistance) may actually hinder progress.)
