Heya Everyone,

I recently gave a presentation to my work colleagues on the wonders of the Boost library. [snip]

Matt,

I don't know if you plan to keep this updated, but here is some feedback from a co-worker. I have not verified his findings.

...

The rest of the pages have the classic boost downfall: they don't discuss any of the pitfalls, performance problems, or code bloat issues, which frankly, seem like the "crazy aunt in the basement" of boost.

I don't suppose your co-worker would like to enlighten us about these issues/areas with which he obviously has some expertise and considers the documentation (and the code?) deficient? That would be as useful as Matt's overview could be to those just getting into/considering using boost libs. As it stands, all that the above statement adds is FUD.
