One advantage of a "big grid" is that when things are well (and when we release, they are :), it inspires significant confidence in quality and portability of the libraries. For instance, as a user, I find this one is very inspiring:

I find this view very misleading. It glosses over the fact that the developer has indicated some parts of a library may not be available for a particular compiler/platform.
Well, yes, it's a developer view. My main point still applies.
As an example, it might lead you to believe that all features of date_time are available on gcc 2.95.3 which just isn't the case.
This would have been shown in the user report, it's just, as I said before, currently user reports are in flux and we don't have the corresponding picture which I could post a link to. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
