Personally, I see no reason why all libraries have to use the same 
system.  Enforcing this would create a huge amount of work with no real 
benefit.  I don't see any problem in letting the library 
author/maintainer decide which he want's to use.  After all, he is the 
person who has to deal with it.

Don't worry about Trac/wiki containing a lot of old irrelevant stuff. 
Www.Boost.org does as well. And given time, github will too.
