I'm not sure what there is to discuss.  It didn't happen :-( And TR2 
submission time is over.  I still want to see SOCI or the equivalent in Boost, 
but the authors have to bring it forward.  Last I knew they were waiting to 
have an ODBC driver first.  I didn't see the need for that, but they thought 
it was essential...
