I agree. However, given that at present a lot of effort is put into testing Boost as a whole, I think it makes sense to ask whether this is a good point to drop testers running with obsoleted compiler versions.
By the same token, testers can test whatever they want to. That is, that is most useful to them.
What is your point ?
I don't think we have the means or authority to "drop testers" so I don't think we need to spend time trying to reach a consenus on it
Testers for 'master' are whitelisted, so they actually can be dropped (Note that I'm not suggesting that this is desirable, only that there are no technical difficulties.). Also it's not like we have no influence over the testers. It's just that instead of deciding by consensus, we would need to convince Tom and Ion. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
