Boosters,
The deadline for "major code changes" for 1.42 is Monday, January 4, 2010. Please try to get all big features merged to release branch by that date, and let the release team know if there are any issues.
The next deadline will be Jan 11, when the release branch will be closed for all changes, except by explicit permission.

I'd just like to point out that we have 28 open tickets marked as "Showstoppers": https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report/29
Well, given that half of them is more than 6 months old, they cannot be all true show stoppers. Unfortunately, the severity of the issue typically represents submitter opinion, and not maintainer position about priority of a fix. That said, of course it would be nice if everybody looked at that list and try to do something. - Volodya
