It's like std::auto_ptr being deprecated along with the interfaces of dozens of other libraries. If boost::string is a really well implemented string that does things really really well, then I don't see why std::string can't be deprecated in favor of an arguably better but certainly different string paradigm.
That's a bad analogy. std::auto_ptr was deprecated, but not in favor of another std::auto_ptr but rather by std::shared_ptr.
Err, unique_ptr is closer to auto_ptr. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
