I imagine it's entirety possible to produce a "boost release" (or "distro" to use a term Niall suggested) consisting of all the latest releases of individual boost libraries.

This is a very interesting idea: The concept of a "Distribution".

I could see something like:

(a)- Boost "Networking/IPC" distribution

(b)- Boost "Embedded" distribution (supporting Beaglebone or specific platform)

(c)- Boost "Template Meta-Programming" distribution (requires C++14)

(d)- Boost "Everything" Distribution (what we have now)

(e)- etc.

Whether that has merit is a separate matter. (Note that such an idea will only ever come to fruition if someone does the work.) ___ Rob (Sent from my portable computation engine)
