Huh ? Test what code ? As a boost user I want to test *my* code, not boost.
You want to test your code in the same environment that has generated the bug report. Since so much of Boost is header-only and inlined into your code, the two are irredeemably intertwined. It's not that using the system-installed or user-installed Boost wouldn't work, it would, that's just a different workflow and a different scenario. It's a difference in philosophy and the two schools of thought don't seem to understand each other. Plus, it's just plain easier to tell people "`git clone --recursive my-wonderful-repo` and run CMake."
