What is would be the difference between creating a bug fix release presumably called 1.58.1 and just expediting release 1.59 ?
From a Linux user's perspective: A 1.58 would never ship with one of the common Linux distributions, if a 1.58.1 were available. But it might, if a 1.58 would not exist.
Hmmm - if 1.59 were available - would 1.58 ship?
ubuntu 15.04 was released this month and provides boost 1.55. if 1.59 is released (or packaged) after the 'feature freeze', it will not be allowed to go in. if 1.58 is packaged and 1.58.1 is released after the 'feature freeze', it will go in as bugfix.
