I didn't take it personally and if I haven't made that clear my intent 
wasn't to criticize or single out boost.build either. I was just trying 
to point out that the proposal does not address one of the main issues 
in this release.

IIUC that wasn't goal of the proposal, I just wanted people to 
understand that there are other issues.
