what about when boost hits 500 libraries?
Boost added what, *two* libraries last year? At that rate, the 500 library problem won't happen until the *23rd century*. Lots of other stuff has to scale first: the number of submissions, the number of reviews, the number of maintainers, etc. And yes, even at 500, I still want them all, if it minimizes my dependency management problem. I might want to take a newer/older version of a specific library, but that's about it. -- Nevin ":-)" Liber mailto:nevin@eviloverlord.com (847) 691-1404
