Many libraries do not "integrate with the "global Boost documentation"
Someone suggested: "one boost library should be selected as the golden or canonical example so that it can be used as an example for others to follow" I would think that a library that integrates with the global Boost documentation is desirable as that example.
I'm aware that doing so is redundant. BUT it provides anyone who want's to browse boost just to do so directly, without building anything. For example, anyone can just start browsing the repo master branch without doing downloading or building anything. This is huge for new users of boost. The extra space used seems a small price to pay for this benefit.
There are other ways of providing that, as people have suggested in this thread. e.g. A separate branch (such as gh-pages) that doesn't pollute the master/develop branches commit history with generation outputs. Glen
