I am strongly against breaking up the Boost release.
Just for context: We recently had a discussion (with Niall) where the idea of a "Boost distribution" came up. In such a scenario, Boost libraries could still follow their individual release schedule, but would be made available through a single distribution channel (which could also assume some validation tasks to test inter-version compatibility. I think this would be an interesting model to consider, as it adds the best of both worlds: independence an autonomy of projects, and convenience for end users.
I also think such a fundamental change has to go through the Steering Committee.
Well, I beg to differ. It's the projects' maintainers / developers who have to do the actual work, so ultimately it's their decision where to put their effort. Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...
