Yes, in the context of the proposal you're referring to so-called "rejection rule 2", which is practically custom-made for the case of Boost.MPL. I personally find that this lib, which was a breakthrough back in the day, now it's too much of a burden in non-C++03 environments, given the much lighter alternatives.
Although I think the mechanics of the proposal are well worked out as I posted earlier, but on reflection, I don't think this is the right way forward. The world (linux had already) is moving to live-at-head, see the development of vcpkg. I consider this an old-school solution to a new-school problem, so it will stumble on. I think, that IIRC what pdimov5 suggested somewhere last year, to re-baptise master -> release, develop -> master, experimetal -> develop, and just live at head, is the best way forward. Doing a release comes down to adding a tag to a master-commit and everybody carries on busying themselves in experimental in the meanwhile.
In all honesty, I don't see how this idea (which seems interesting, BTW) is in any way connected to the epochs proposal. Would you care to elaborate? Thank you! Joaquín M López Muñoz
