The fact is that users of boost use compilers with differing levels of C++ standard conformance. This creates a number of problems including (but probably not limited to)
a) Using libraries built with different levels of C++ conformance may create ABI issues.
b) it creates a discussion about "dropping C++03 support". Actually it creates a discussion about that the above actually means.
c) It's motivated a suggestion that all libraries move to header only. This is not great idea - but I won't address that here.
I believe all these issues - and more - would disappear if we just stopped distributing binaries.
Why do you think so? It doesn't solve A, B or C. -- Olaf
