Heh, if this is an opportunity to change the numbering, let's get rid of that 'major version' entirely, i.e. make the next release '35'. There is nothing versions 1.x and 1.y have in common for x != y, so the '1' is completely meaningless at this point.
Fine, but why skip to 35? 2 is the number that comes after 1, and the fact that we are currently at 1.34 doesn't mean that 34 means *that* much. There are only going to be questions about "what happened to boost 2.x to 34.x, eh?"
Or, in other words, what I said before :-)
But it is the 1 that has lost meaning, not the 34. Moving from 1.34(.1) to 2, 3, etc. sounds more confusing (disruptive) than moving to 35, 36, etc. Regards, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
