We can't go on like this. I propose that the review be stopped now. There should already be enough input for the Review Manager to make a decision. If we carry on, this list will turn into the sort of "flame fest" that we all know happens elsewhere, but not normally in Boost.
I disagree. There is a personal quarrel between Chad and Mathias that carried over from the Unicode string discussion, which they need to resolve. Otherwise, I think the review has been civil and should continue. In particular, I don't think the debate between a fully encapsulated class and a division between algorithms and data has been fully argued by both sides. IMO (not being much of a math guy but big on abstractions) this is the most important issue. Cheers, Gordon
