If I have to choose, then, I would much rather use the namespace io and move the library back to boost/io than use the namespace iostreams.
You don't _have_ to choose, but then you could do better than the status quo.
Okay, I'll hold off adding iostreams to CVS while I think about it some more.
Sorry, still catching up on holiday email. Did a decision get made on this yet? Because I'd really hate to see the last conclusion: 'holding off on adding iostreams'. Since 1.32 is slowly fading into the sunset we have several new libraries that should be in 1.33 -- and the best way to avoid the long release cycle is to add those libraries early and get the regression testing cranked up before everyone is begging for the release to be cut... So I'd like to see a decision and see the library added soon. Besides, it will make it easier for me to use :-) Jeff ps: My analysis says the libraries accepted but not added list is as follows: Pointer Containers Container traits Iostreams Circular Buffer Named Params
