I’d like to see the CMake files in the same locations as the Jamfiles
so
we have a consistent layout for build and test across
Boost.

(of course, keeping the existing bjam/b2 build system and the tireless team supporting it and the massive testing system, one of Boost's really impressive features).

PS We seem to be making incredibly heavy weather on this fairly minor matter!
Making something 'standard' is generally good but if the location of Cmake stuff really proves inconvenient, we could change later without major upset?
We are saying its inconvenient and we want it changed.
But... are you asking for a change, or are you trying to enforcing it?
We are asking for a change to allow CMakeLists.txt at the top-level directory of the individual library repo at the library author's discretion. We are not trying to force library authors to put a cmake there, that is up to the library author.
