...Boost is not part of the incubation process for most libraries going into the standard. As to why this is the case, I don't think anyone knows for sure.

I have a theory....

I believe that making standardization the primary goal is a mistake. The goal must always be to satisfy users by delivering something useful. The standardization follows, and does not lead. This is why Boost is now more important than ever: WG21 is incapable of competing in the library marketplace.
