We could say "OK, no more domain-specific libraries in Boost!!!~!~1`~!!~111" but first we must formally define the domain of libraries that are acceptable in Boost. Good luck with that. :)
We don't need formal boundaries, we determine what is suitable using the submission process. This thread suggests that a DirectX wrapper would be rejected. FC++ was rejected, but phoenix was accepted. We don't have a formal rule that divides the two but there was enough of a consensus that FC++ doesn't fit even though it is highly regarded within the boost community. The review process relies on considered judgement rather than a set of fixed rules. We're not lawyers. Daniel
