I think that this discussion would be more productive if it's based on
concrete examples. Saying "Boost doesn't install", "Boost users", "Boost
this" and "Boost that" borders on abstraction.

Which concrete libraries are your users having trouble with? Complain to the
library maintainer directly. Avoid the "Why Jam" issue, concentrate on "Why
doesn't library X build."
