No,
Let me rephrase. The download link on boost.org takes me to a page where I can download all-of-boost.zip. My question was whether it should be a goal for it to offer boost-static_assert.zip. Your response was along the lines of 'it doesn't matter to me what the download link on boost.org does. Here is my solution...', or with a different paraphrase 'what you describe is not a goal for me. My goal is...'. Or you're saying you want the download link on boost.org to point to your tool?

A lack of leadership or cohesion on this issue is indeed disappointing.
So I'm pressing ahead with my own solution - I specifically want single git submodule dependencies, so when I throw together a Boost using project I merely need to submodule a single Boost git submodule and it just works with no arsing around with bootstrapping or config or staging.
And the user will be responsible for adding the individual -Ifoo/include paths? Thanks, Steve.
