Robert, you need to make the library's testing more selective; it's occupying vastly more testing resources than most other libraries, and way more than required to effectively find problems. It shouldn't be necessary to test the cross-product of all tests with all archives and all build configurations.
Actually, I'm thinking we should drop testing of serialization entirely.
Wow, I don't know what to say. Is there _any_ standard Boost practice that should apply to this library? Or is it two libraries? <snip>
I'm not even sure that the table shows whether the tests are run in release mode or debug mode.
The answer is only a couple of clicks away in your web browser. <snip>
So, I think your on the right track here - just take it to its logical conclusion.
