I would propose that any accepted library move to the trunk as soon as it is accepted and the author make the needed modifications on the trunk. My experience while introducing Boost.Ratio and Boost.Chrono has been that it is really interesting to have the result of the regression tests as soon as possible, in order to avoid bad portability designs.
What was the experience of other authors?
I don't mind merging the library to Boost trunk, if the review manager allows that. Portability testing would be very useful, indeed. However, I have concerns about Boost SVN performance. I recently updated my local copy of the release branch from somewhere about 1.45 to 1.46. It took nearly a day to complete, with dozens of errors and manual retries.
