Thank you Michael.  What about the issue of the implication of a 
connection though?  If the library is withdrawn, or never makes it into 
the review process, does it go through life with "UNREVIEWED BOOST C++ 
LIBRARIES" attached to it?  That sounds like it's still a boost library, 
just in a special category.

I don't think that there's anything about "UNREVIEWED BOOST C++ 
LIBRARIES" that automatically tells anyone unfamiliar with the process 
that the implication is that it isn't a boost library at all.  And it 
isn't.  It may or may not later be submitted.  After applying for 
submission, a review manager may or may not accept it for submission.  
It could go through it's life with that icon, and it says too much.  The 
library may be wonderful, or may be crap, but it's not a boost library.

Same arguments for "POTENTIAL BOOST C++ LIBRARIES".  It's not clear that 
it is not in some way a boost library.  I think it says too much.  I'd 
rather go with one that may say too little, i.e. "POWERED BY BOOST C++ 
LIBRARIES", as a placeholder in the docs for the library for the reasons 
that Robert gave earlier in this discussion.
