boost-1.55 does not really support msvc-2013. patches are trivial. imho, this could have justified a 1.55.1 release, but unfortunately boost does not have a notion of bugfix releases.
We have done them very occasionally, and I guess if there was a pressing need to get msvc-2013 patches out then that would be a reason to do an early patches-only release. I'm not sure how much that would speed things up though, there's still a lot of figuring out to do before any release can be produced. If anything the big reorganization for Git requires a slower than usual release procedure. John.
