I really, really don't understand why it's necessary to commit new staff at this point of release process. The file in question, boost/test/detail/xml_printer.hpp was added 2004-07-19, which is *yesterday*. Was there any pressing need for that? Should not Boost.Test be in complete feature freeze for a month already?!
Of all Boost.Test functionality I use only 'test_main' and BOOST_CHECK, and I'd be really gratefull if that subset just worked. Just mine opinion, of course.
Not only yours. A change to Boost.Test basically means all tests will have to be recompiled on the testing machines. This means test results will be available at a lower frequency. A higher frequency is very desirable during the release preparations.
