That'll get you far; take it from me.
For what it's worth, I think that, to the extent that having a library accepted at Boost is a disincentive to developing better libraries in the same domain, we have a problem. I don't mind you asking the question "should there be multiple libraries in the same domain?" My answer is yes.
To me the question is simple - should MSM be accepted into boost.
I agree, but for me the fact that there is a library in Boost fulfilling most of my FSM needs is a factor in that decision. I do not understand why this is regarded so outrageous.
The other question - should state chart be deprecated - is really a different question. Discussion of this question isn't really related to the review of MSM. That is, the answer to the second really doesn't impact the first. Confusing these to issues doesn't really help the review of MSM.
I do not confuse these matters, just have a different take on multiplicities of domains in Boost than yours, or Dave's. /David
