Nobody is arguing that making mistakes in the 'develop' branch does not occur. Gennady's response, however, was not that this was a mistake but a chosen decision
This was not a decision at the point I checked in the code, but I am trying to defend the notion of dropping c++03 in general. Who wants to admit a mistake - let's make a political statement out of it ;o). Seriously though - this *is* the subject worth discussing.
But let's just move on. No one is seeking to lay blame on anyone for anything. Lots of libraries use Boost Test which need to be tested in C++03 mode so if Boost Test wants to move forward with a version which only supports testing in C++11 mode in order to use C++11 facilities, which is perfectly reasonable, it should do so as a separate library forked from the current version of Boost Test.
I wish we can have an established procedure. Introducing new Boost.Test3 or Boost.Test-c++11 does not look appealing. Gennadiy
