Re: [boost] [Booster] Or boost is useless for library developers

I get that it would be nice to have maintenance releases that include backported bug fixes so that one could continue to use older releases for a longer period rather than chasing the latest release to get bug fixes. That would ensure longer lived ABI compatibility. That much I can see being considered. The rest is just antithetical to Boost.

Well, boost's design makes it particularly hard to fix all too much without breaking the ABI. So, libraries that want to be ABI-stable will likely want to put an indirection layer around code which uses boost. What I am wondering is if there would be some interest in the boost community to build such an indirection layer (or building blocks thereof). Best regards, Isidor
