The point where that breaks down is where one library is found to have a fatal flaw shortly after a release, you wait 6 months > (or> whatever) for another version of boost which fixes the bug, but also breaks the API on a half-dozen other libraries you use.
But you are going to have to deal with the broken bits sooner or later :-( Easier to deal with them one at a time? So you wait for next weeks/fortnights release? (Assuming the install process can be made much less painful). (And I'm not sure the API change rate is as high as you suggest). Paul --- Paul A.
