So, when I am evaluating a "Networking Library", and see that it clearly consideres one approach to networking inferior to the other one, and I think they both are equaly important, that means that I am in fundamental disagreement with the library author on the subject, and makes me wonder whether this is the networking library I would like to see in Boost.
"Inferiority" is not the point here. The reason asynchronous interface is given more attention is that it is the one that is non-trivial. The real value of this library is the asynchronous part. There is nothing special about synchronous operations, and they have been implemented in similar ways in dozens of networking libraries.
