Tom's observations are just that, observations. In my experience, they are correct. It doesn't mean that actionable proposals are practical or possible.
My experience turns out to be quite different. And that's fine. No single person represents the entire boost, let alone C/C++ developer community. If no one has anything further to add that will actually benefit boost, then this thread should be ruthlessly abandoned. But thanks for sharing. ;-) And seriously, anyone who just wants to sound off their opinions about C++ in general, or anything non-boost-related for that matter, should find a more appropriate forum.
Frankly, I couldn't care less if a particular team uses Boost or not, unless I am writing code that they use. And then I keep my fingers crossed that I will be able to use shared_ptr at least. :)
I only care because wide-spread adoption of boost (in whole or parts) makes my job of convincing program managers to allow me to use boost a *lot* easier. Jon
