If we give up on backwards compatibility, a merger is still possible. I think Joel's suggestion is workable. I like the approach he and Hartmut are using in the Spirit 2 transition. Sounds like he changed his mind after all. He did?
I saw a message to Jaakko go by that I interpreted that way.
If "he" is Joel, then I'd say yes. To be specific: 1) Ask for a phoenix review 2) Granted phoenix is accepted, it becomes a full fledged boost library 3) Merge phoenix and lambda codebase. - lambda will be lambda1 - phoenix will be lambda2. - Provide version switches and include forwarding (ala Spirit2) such that old client code will remain as-is and new code can use lambda2 (aka phoenix) Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://spirit.sf.net
