1. Boost isn't sexy any more.
3. All the interesting new C++ 11 libraries you find around the
internet have zero interest in trying to join Boost, with a very few honorable exceptions. That speaks volumes, to me at least.
Which suggests to me a need for a new Boost which attempts to apply the benefits of hindsight to what we learned with Boost v1.
Or, if you really believe this, maybe you ought to go and start another separate project for developing C++ libraries that is not affiliated with Boost. Seriously.
