This is exactly what would happen - they would remain internal 
libraries.

In fact, they are already internal libraries:

- Monad lives in boost/afio/monad.

- APIBind lives in boost/afio/bindlib.

You as the external user need not concern yourself with how the 
public API is implemented.

I merely stated I personally would not be comfortable sending AFIO 
into the main Boost distro until you guys had reviewed Monad. It's 
not a prerequisite nor precondition.

You can accept or reject AFIO without needing to accept or reject any 
internal library.
