It gives us a good view of compilers conformance (using boost libraries as test cases).
Not necessarily. It simply highlights the compilers/platforms/libraries for which the most workarounds are present in boost. This could either mean that it (= compiler/platform/librarie) is especially broken or it could mean that especially much effort has been put into boost to support it. But when you combine this list with the regression status table you could end up with a statement concerning the conformance of "it". (Along the lines of: if you have many passed tests for "it" and there are few workarounds for "it", it does look pretty good for "it". :-) Markus
