Boost has a reason to continue and exist. But Boost is also a committee - albeit a better designed one. It has to evolve as well. I think it can evolve if we continue to work on the stuff we've been successful at while at the same time experimenting with new ideas.

+1.

I'm really interested in having all the C++2x prototypes in Boost. Looks like everyone would benefit from that. Is that a reasonable idea?

Boost now consists of >150 libraries, a number of them barely maintained. Who do you propose would maintain those additional projects ?

Authors of the prototypes. They already maintain those, all they have to do is to use boost namespace and license. Maintainment of antique libraries is a separate topic. I'd rather not mix those.
