There is one big lesson from all this:

a) Boost is not a company - we don't take direction from the top. b) Boost is not a government - we actually do something. c) Boost is a religion - want something changed, start preaching. Get other people on board. Convince people people to start doing something. Boost is not a religion. It's a set of tools; no more, no less.

Clearly Robert was metaphorically speaking and explained well what he meant -- "want something changed, start preaching"... Maybe a bit too strong but still...

... in some ways making a proposal directly to the committee is easier if you want to get your library out there: shorter commitment, only need one implementation...

I personally far from sure that's a good idea. IMO Boost has been an excellent (and essential) preparatory platform (and a safeguard) for potential/future std inclusion.
