that's kinda my point though. it's using boost's name to say "i am of this level of quality" and yet there is no verification of this (such as an accepted boost review).
Well, I would understand that as "I am trying to be". E.g., I don't know if this library was ever officially proposed, but I think it's quite obvious that it's not boost approved: http://turtle.sourceforge.net/ I think it's only a problem if you have a library really pretending to be a part of boost. But even then: the people who only want to use boost, will probably download the complete package from the boost homepage. And if you clone boost from github, you won't get any not approved libraries. When I only used boost, I saw it as one thing; I only started to look into libraries as single things, when I got involved with writing code for it. So I can only say: if I find something named boost which is not official, I know that it isn't. And I understand it as a stated goal.
