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.
This is then really a problem with testing if such a disastrous bug slips through?
I think that it is terribly wrong assume that Boost can release any kind of bug-free library even free from terrible, critical bugs that make the library useless. It is programming world. There is no such thing like bug free software. See UUID example... Artyom
