Thoughts?
I'd like to mention that the library has been in Boost for many years and it may have a considerable user base. I myself have written quite a few tests based on Boost.Test (in one degree or the other) and I wouldn't be happy to discover all these tests broken with a new Boost release. In my opinion, Boost needs a good testing library. Whether the current Boost.Test qualifies as such or not is a valid question but it is better than not having any. While there is no viable replacement for Boost.Test, the library should be retained at least for sake of backward compatibility. When the replacement appears we can declare a deprecation period to allow users (and Boost developers) to port their tests. IMHO.
