I was looking searching for John Lakos' email address in order to ask him to offer his insights into the discussion. I'm not able to find it (of course, thanks spammers) but surely someone here knows how to send him such an invitation. John attended BoostCon and CPPCon as a speaker and has writing the canonical reference on this subject. Growing Boost to 500 libraries would likely be the largest challenge ever to ideas about how to organized large, de-coupled libraries of code.
Myself and John are of remarkably similar opinion on most coding philosophies, probably because we both think at large scale, so prepare yourself for that Robert. I think though you'll find he won't give any concrete opinions in writing out of habit, but he will in person, and they are not positive about recent Boost history if I remember correctly. Anyway, try him for yourself at jlakos@bloomberg.net. And tell him I sent you, and that I send him my best regards.
