Re: [boost] A proposal for superproject structure and testing

You can "revert" the feature by just changing the reference to the commit in the superproject release branch to an earlier commit, before the feature was added to the library master.

Not if the commits introducing the feature are intermingled with commits fixing bugs in the existing code, as in my example.

My main concern with these branches is that it's not clear what the library maintainers should do with them.

Nothing. They are a stopgap measure.
