Not really always. Don't you think that Boost can be (or even already is)
overcrowded? I cannot really define this with words; it's a feeling that I get
from its everyday use. And there is a lot of conformation of my feeling I see in
my smalltalk with friends/coworkers.

P.S. I know this is not a very valuable comment, but, you guys seem to often
think too much as a "boost let's-prove-c++-is-almighty developers", not "boost
users". :|
