It seems like Outcome wants to stay away from Boost. By that I mean that great care has been taken to decouple it from Boost, and I sense that this desire comes from the target audience: the so-called "low latency" crowd wouldn't touch Boost with a 9 foot pole. While it is generally a bad idea to speculate about such things, it seems to me the motivation for submitting Outcome for a Boost review is not to benefit the Boost community; for us the coupling with Boost is not a problem.
While this my response is slightly tangential to the review, I am concerned that your assertion about the "low latency" crowd might provide the wrong impression about the suitability of Boost in these environments. I am very much part of the "low latency" crowd and have been for a number of years in a few environments. I frequently care about single digit nanoseconds. Boost libraries have been individually and intelligently considered for use in all of these environments. While not all decisions make sense when latency requirements are an upper-most concern, your assertion does not fit with my experience. Boost libraries are frequently used and are frequently of enormous utility.
