I have also received quite a bit of private email begging me to keep Outcome free of a hard Boost dependency if accepted. [snip] Actually there is overwhelming evidence that Boost **users** do not want a dependency on Boost. But I've been saying that for years now.
It seems like these users are best satisfied with just github.com/ned14/outcome. i.e. They wouldn't even need Outcome to be part of the Boost collection of libraries, if they desire Outcome to be standalone and independent of Boost. Meanwhile, those Boost users who do have some expectation or desire that libraries included in the Boost distribution benefit from all the work done in other libraries (e.g. compiler workarunds, compiler feature detection), or simply not duplicate code that another Boost library has an optimal implementation of, would have different expectations of a "Boost" Outcome.
