However, I do suggest that *if there is new branch* of boost, many regression tests targeted at old (nonconforming) compilers should be pulled out from this branch. Effectively, to make new features available for old compilers, these features have to be back-ported to the "old branch".
I am afraid it woudn't work very well: - There are many small fixed and updates and these could be easily be missed. - The effort to keep multiple branches of Boost would take more than maintaining current state. I'd prefere to keep current mode for 1-2 years. /Pavel
