Because it's not ready yet V3 is in alpha. V2 OTOH had years of deployment behind it. It's already in extensive use, not just within the Spirit community. I could have easily "fixed" the non-standard type deduction protocol in V2 but decided that breaking the interface should be done with care starting with v3. We value backward compatibility.
Isn't the move to first-class Boost citizen a good opportunity to change some parts of the interface, and thus give a new version number?
