Dave, is there a boost policy about these sorts of things?
No.
I want to explain something: I doubt there are any changes to C++ front-end compiler. Of course, there are some critical fixes (like http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=320739 "FIX: No error generated when accessing non-static member in static function"), but there won't be any better conformance with standard. MSVC6 is an old compiler, older than C++ standard, and its conformance with standard is not going to get any better.
They did fix some codegen bugs, which affect conformance. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
