If what they see scares them, and then they find out that the library may in fact have only one one active maintainer, it can be a real source of concern.
My view has always been that you should never look at source code, only at documentation. If that's not enough to use the library, post a bug report.
The solution, as expressed on this forum many times, is to somehow seperate out the core libraries from the non-core libraries.
We have the same high standards applied to all libraries that are admitted in Boost. There are no second grade citizens here. Also, what's a secondary library for me might be the only reason for someone else to use Boost. If there is anything that could help, that is to reduce coupling in all Boost libraries. That, I think, is impossible at this point in time. Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
