That said, I very much want to encourage further work on this library. It _is_ very important. I'm disappointed that Andy does not seem committed to it. The volume of feedback indicates that there's a lot of interest.
It is very hard for a volunteer to put a life-time of work into a library when he doesn't even know whether or not it will be accepted.
I very much agree, and I appreciate the courage it takes to submit one's hard work to a Boost review.
I've followed the review of PQS with great interest, and was amazed by Andy's patience and politeness. Yet, the end result of the review is a list of things that are "wrong" with the "currently unusable library".
Now, now. The only message in the boost archive containing both "pqs" and "unusable" is this one: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/142241/match=pqs+unusabl... which makes no such accusation. To say nothing of the fact that nobody seems to have written "currently unusable library" before now. I don't think anyone has specifically said there was anything "wrong" with the library, either, though I might've missed that. If you're going to put things in quotes, especially as a critique of others' behavior, they ought to be actual quotations. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
