c) And that any such proposals should go through the Boost formal review process. Traditionally, the boost formal review process has never applied to boost tools so this would be a departure from traditional practice.
There is good reason why tooling doesn't go through a formal review process, it could never pass a formal review. I think requiring a cmake conversion to pass a formal review is an impossible ask. The cmake conversion will never reach the quality of the Boost.Build one in any reasonable time period, and moreover, everything keeps shifting with time. I'd support a simple majority, yay or nay vote for the proposed cmake design. Without commentary or review. Makes things feasible. And a second simple majority yay or nay for when Boost.Build is to be turned off (if ever).
