I think the most important thing is that there be active maintainers for both libraries so that when issues come up they are fixed.

More than a review, atomic needs a maintainer. Lockfree, I am already convinced, is in good hands. If the lockfree maintainer is willing to maintain atomic as an implementation detail, why not as a stand alone library?
Well, IMO the difference would be, if Tim includes it as a detail of his library, then he's only claiming that as much works as is used by Lockfree. BTW, are we talking about lockfree::detail::atomic or lockfree::atomic? For the same reason of not being quite ready for review, my mpl_graph is currently included in msm as msm::mpl_graph, which I suppose means that Christophe claims that it's working well enough for him. Of course I am still its maintainer, so that's a little different.
