I think Beman might have an idea in a v2.x Boost - one whose libraries *solely* consist of C++11 upgraded libraries. Any libraries from Boost v1.x not upgraded to C++11 get dropped from v2.x.
No, my thought was that Boost 2.x would allow existing libraries to be changed to support only C++11 compilers, and that new libraries would only have to work with C++11 compilers. Existing libraries could continue to support C++03 compilers if they want to, and aren't required to add C++11 features.
I look forward to the aghastness at the idea of dropping libraries from Boost :)
Hey, we've dropped libraries before:-) But that's only because something better came along and the old library had been deprecated for a long time. --Beman
