When discussing libraries in public that are under development but not yet accepted into Boost, I think it's problematic to refer to "The Boost <whatever> library" or "Boost.<whatever>" without qualification. Our peer-review process is respected, and these libraries are not yet officially blessed by Boost. I don't want to dilute the value of Boost acceptance. Can we please make a habit of prepending "The proposed" or something similar? For example, I suggest "The proposed Boost Interfaces library.
I understand the problem. With the interfaces library, the documentation contains a prominent disclaimer, and so does every source file. I can't think of anything better right now, but to me "proposed" suggests that the libray is in the review queue.
Thanks!
