I'm willing to concede that these points have value.

But I don't think the cost has been adequately appreciated.

Exactly. The cost will only become to be appreciated when a release containing the changes goes out. The majority of our users do not use the trunk, do not try out a beta release, do not try the release candidates; many of them nowadays don't even get Boost from us. There are also people who are using (portions of) Boost on "non-supported" compilers. We only hear from them when something breaks.
