This is very true. However, changes in the development process do not necessarily imply changes for the end user: we can use individual projects for development, aggregate them to a release, and deliver a monolithic package.
Agreed. But I think it is the goal of a modularized Boost, unless I am wrong, to be able to deliver individual libraries also as new releases of those libraries occur. Individual libraries are easier to move around locally on a developer's machine and lose the connection to their dependencies which a monolitihic Boost, in its own Boost tree structure, does not encourage.
True - but a long term goal - not necessarily an immediate one. If we can take incremental steps in the right direction, we should arrive there by default. Robert Ramey
