Well, not quite. Let's suppose it's accepted. There is a repo under boostorg, boostorg/outcome, that hopefully contains headers. Someone issues a pull request against one of those headers. To incorporate this PR, you need to backport it into the primary Outcome source, then rerun the boostification script, then commit the result to the boostorg repo, then check whether the changes match the PR.
Correct?
It depends on what conditions the peer review places on Outcome to be accepted.
If the repo were accepted as is presented - and my hope would be that it is - then users will be using it directly.
This answer makes no sense to me. Boost acceptance implies that the library is distributed as part of a Boost release. How could users be using it directly?
