Sorry, I thougth that this would be a pretty good example of a high
level library. So I was wrong.

Yes, but if I have the choice of waiting one additional week for the check
in of an accepted library against waiting 2 month for the next release
I would choose to wait that additional week. However, I have read in one
of the other mails that you have a deadline with your book. So live is not
that simple at all. I won't persist on changing the planned schedule.
Don't get me wrong.

No, I merely think that a library should be accepted when it is ready
for checkin and there is not a list of changes and request pending.

Ok, I second that. If it not clear for people what is part of boost
then it is the wrong way. People should be able to build on a boost
release.

With kind regards
