Tobias (see forwarded e-mail below) has kindly agreed to allow me to become the maintainer of boost::factory and boost::value_factory (in Boost.Functional). I'll be revising the implementation of both for the next Boost (1.72) release, to: * Support r-value arguments * Use variadic templates to support arbitrary arguments * Support allocators that are final * Support allocators that use non-raw (fancy) pointers * Support BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS environments * Improve compilation times (drop Boost.Preprocessor usage) I'll add myself to the appropriate repository teams and update the library information accordingly.

I'd like to assume maintenance of factory/value_factory in Boost.Functional. Among other things, update them to support r-value references (when the compiler supports it), as well as simplify the implementation for when the compiler supports variadic templates. Along with other work going forward. [...] If you have no objections let me know.

No objections - to the contrary: I'm grateful. Thank you for taking care of it! Best, Toby
