Why there's pressure from users to keep Boost libs header-only? Boost is for the users, so their reasons should be given proper weight.
One can not create good design (in general, not just in software) by asking the users what would they like.
I'd rather not go into discussing such far-reaching issues as design theory, but you haven't asked my question: What are the particular reasons why users demand header-only libraries?
Probably different users have different reasons. One reason might be that it makes Boost easier to install initially. What's your point? Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
