This relates to another thread. Should libraries be marked as stable/experimental?
I like it, but I would prefer stable/new. Libraries that aren't new shouldn't be unstable, and rewrites would make the library "new" again.
This raises the obvious question: Where do you trace the line between a minor change ('fix') and a rewrite ? And how do you enforce it ?
There's very little we can enforce here, so you don't. You make it a "cultural imperative." Set up the guidelines page, let people know when their libraries are accepted that they should read and follow it, and scream loudly if things are handled badly. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
