That's not what I've been told.
They want Boost libraries without all the hassle that comes with Boost libraries. I keep saying this for years, but no one here on boost-dev appears to listen.
They're telling you they want a Boost release to contain your Outcome library, but that they only want to depend on your Outcome library and nothing else in Boost?
Yes.
Why wouldn't they prefer to download a 1 MB outcome.zip from github/ned14 instead of a 150 MB Boost release zip?
I don't think anyone worries about a few hundred megabytes of download any more. I think it's much more to do with hassle to use a Boost library, or rather, lack of hassle. Where hassle is defined very broadly, including legal approval, integration into local build and test, source auditing, symbol collision, and so on.
