I think that the two important issues where are:
1) Boost should have these types defined outside of any domain-specific library.
I think they equivalent to other types such a complex numbers, and should exist as primitives for use in many different libraries. There seems to be some support for this from others: http://lists.boost.org/MailArchives/ublas/2006/11/1519.php
I personally agree that Boost should have this type of matrices and vectors. But for one thing, instead to designing a new interface or library, I would seriously think about integrating static sized matrices and vectors into uBLAS. I don't see any good reasons why we shouldn't mix the two kinds.
It would, of course, be best if any static-size matrix implementation worked with uBLAS. But it should be possible to have the matrix definition to exist outside uBLAS. It is a fairly fundamental type. I think it'd be nice to be able to use it without depending on the rest of uBLAS. - jason
