And, if there is an intention to change the numbering scheme and release procedure, it might be the time to move to start with a new major number (2.x). It would signify a clean break from the past, and would mean that there wouldn't be some arbitrary "as of version 1.34.1 boost is following the following numbering scheme". Heh, if this is an opportunity to change the numbering, let's get rid of that 'major version' entirely, i.e. make the next release '35'. There is nothing versions 1.x and 1.y have in common for x != y, so

Fine, but why skip to 35? 2 is the number that comes after 1, and the fact that we are currently at 1.34 doesn't mean that 34 means *that* much. There are only going to be questions about "what happened to boost 2.x to 34.x, eh?" Or, in other words, what I said before :-) phil -- change name before "@" to "phil" for email
