IIRC, it was accepted when Beman was still able to personally test on BE systems. But that was long ago now. Regardless.. This is why we have testing resources for accepted libraries.
Your memory is right on. I have a Power PC G4 based mac mini, which I tested on up to the point we switched to Git, which isn't available for OS X 10.4. Also, the compiler was GCC 4.0, so not a good reflection of modern GCC. Lars Viklund proved the value of the Boost community once more by testing right away on three different BE platforms including a very current GCC version! That's far better test coverage than I could have achieved alone. --Beman
