Because I may want to? Why should I be prevented from supporting bcc if I so desire? Should I be forced to run my own regression tests in order to provide that support?
I think nobody is going to prevent you from supporting any compiler you want :> However, I do suggest that *if there is new branch* of boost, many regression tests targeted at old (nonconforming) compilers should be pulled out from this branch. Effectively, to make new features available for old compilers, these features have to be back-ported to the "old branch". It's just an idea how this could look like - by no means I'm suggesting it's best way to go. B.
