As far as I know, Fernando Cacciola, the original developer of 
utility/value_init, is still around. I've been doing some maintenance to 
value_init as well, reviewed by Fernando. And I'm still busy fixing 
"Unconditional call to memset in value_initialized()" 
<https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3869>. Unfortunately I haven't 
got enough time to finalize the fix this month, sorry! I hope to do so 
before the end of April.

We still need to have a decision about your "Setting 
value_initialized<T> to a value when T is a top-level const" 
<https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3472>. You know, I wasn't 
entirely sure about your proposed fix, so I proposed a slightly 
different fix. I still hope Fernando can make a choice between the two.

HTH,
