Don't overthink it. All I'm saying is that the Boost guidelines

that CMakeLists.txt should appear in $some_library/build/CMakeLists.txt, while I argue that current practice is to put it in $some_library/CMakeLists.txt.

Just to be clear. It's not a recommendation. It's a requirement.

Of course, Boost.Hana and Boost.Compute both put the cmake in the top-level so there is no tooling or infrastructure that is broken because of it. Even more so, tooling and infrastructure can be broken by following boost requirements for organization. So it would be best for boost to reconsider its organization requirements in this regard.
