My vote here is entirely based on the good experience I've had with the
Alliance during the development of Boost.Redis between 2018 and 2023. I've
had a lot of questions about Boost.Asio and asynchronous programming in
general and Alliance engineers such as Richard Hodges, Klemens Morgenstern,
Ruben Perez, Mohammed Nejati and Vinnie himself helped me make progress
(some of them also before they became members of the Alliance). It is hard
for me to believe Boost.Redis would be where it is today without this
interaction.

For these and other reasons I am convinced about the Alliance's good
intentions and strongly believe 1. is the best move for Boost.
