Again, no code changes are involved. Right now Boost.Python is built as part of a Boost build, and likewise is released as part of a Boost release. All I'm suggesting is to build and release Boost.Python stand-alone, against an external Boost installation.

Does that mean Boost.Python would no longer be part of a Boost release?

That would be the goal, yes. (Boost.Python doesn't have any dependencies on recent Boost additions, so I expect it to be very stable with respect to ongoing development in the rest of the Boost code.)

In what sense then, will Boost.Python, decoupled from Boost, remain Boost.Python and not SmthElse.Python?
