As heretic as it sounds, do we get any benefits from BoostBook? It's a complex vocabulary, with complex toolchain, and while PDF generation sounded nice 10 years ago, printing HTML into PDF is a viable option these days - and nobody would want to print entire Boost documentation anyway?

Thoughts?

I personally think it's a great toolchain and I also use it in other, non-Boost projects. Boostbook is just an extension of Docbook able to deal with C++ programs. Docbook is one of the most well-known single-source authoring solutions for technical documentation. What would you suggest instead? The only compelling alternative I can think of is reSt/Sphinx.
