I agree 100%! IMO there is one major issue that was raised by me and others several times and that has <cynismn>successfully</cynismn> been set aside so far: boost is getting larger and larger but nobody wants to talk about the side effects this brings along:
- the size of the binaries has grown incredibly! - the time and disk space needed for test runs are higher than ever before - the boost library itself is on the way to become a blob of more or less unrelated code/library fragments.
I actually have noticed and do want to talk about it, and I am trying to prepare some thoughts on the subject. I have been planning to raise these issues first with the Boost moderators, as we're primarily responsible for Boost administration.
Many people who do a fair amount of work on "administration" are not moderators. I don't see why a discussion like this should be started in a private circle that doesn't include all the interested parties. -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
