Re: [boost] Is Boost.Astronomy feasible?

I would say that adding an astrometry (or astrometry, or astrology for that matter) library to Boost is a step in the wrong direction.

[...] In my opinion, the last thing Boost needs is more library binaries and more header files for a library that will be of very little general use.

I wanted to say that there are already a lot of libraries that are fairly specific, but it's true none are as specific as astrometry. I think Boost is having problems dealing with its huge size anyway, so eventually libraries will have to be made separate packages or something. I'm thinking more of a CPAN-like system. More and more Boost libraries are also distributed as standalone by their authors.
