Is there any general guidance for moving headers out of boost/pending? Do we really need to include a forwarding stub for these? I'd like to consider headers in boost/pending as "not final" and therefore we should be able to move headers out of there without leaving a forwarding stub.
pending contains "useful stuff that hasn't been reviewed" - in other words stuff that needed to be written to implement library X, but which doesn't form part of it's interface and wasn't reviewed and doesn't necessarily have the ultimate/best interface. So.... you would need to either: 1) Find another library where the component naturally belongs, and persuade them to adopt it (maybe with changes), or 2) Get it reviewed as a component in it's own right. Once it's "official" then the original library can be changed to use the new version.
