In case *I* wasn't sufficiently clear about it, let me try to be painfully explicit: we may want to discuss whether it's good for Boost or its users if we release a new top-level library and then break its interface in the next release, three months later. I'm all for accepting some version of Phoenix, but I want to make sure that users' needs for -- and the public perception of -- Boost's stability are accounted for.
Also please note that most major Linux distributions are still back at 1.33 or 1.34. Even if the next boost release would be only 3 months away, it may take a long while until the new release makes it into any major Linux distribution. It would be quite unfortunate if some distro happened to upgrade boost between the two Phoenix releases.
Understood 100%. Such a thing will not happen. There will only be one release. That release will take into account all that's discussed in the review. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boostpro.com http://spirit.sf.net
