2. Spirit-2b is a break-all-of-the-interface-change. I understand that some people prefer it to be in directory spirit2 and you prefer it to be merged with spirit-1. I respect your opinion and your freedom but I strongly disagree.
Right now, a developer can update/enhance/improve his library anyway he sees fit without further review.
That is exactly my point. I do not regard Spirit-2 as update, enhancement or improvement. I see it as something completely new and different. OK, yes, it is an enhancement and improvement, but not in an evolutionary sense. I do not see any evolution, I see big changes. There's no brick on the other anymore.
If you or anyone else want to change the rules,
I thought that the rules already disallow the change of 90% of the interface at once. I thought that the boost community was rather conservative regarding interface changes. Are there any tools to measure code distances? Or should we write on based on Spirit-2?
[...] Spirit-1 is *NOT* deprecated. Only the old headers are deprecated.
Can you write this sentence into the main html page Introduction chapter of the docs? best regards, Markus
