Haven't had much time for Boost lately, sorry.
AFAIK fusion tuples should be ready for prime time and are TR1 
compatible, against the spec
as it was about a year ago. We were quite careful on that. There's been 
a few changes after
that, but mostly they were just stripping of features (like stream 
manipulators).
Not sure what to do with such features, should they be thrown away, 
provided by including separate headers, ...?

Of course, fusion tuples are not entirely backwards compatible (the old 
tuples document and
expose the cons-interface), so we might want to leave the old ones 
hanging around as
deprecated features for a couple of release rounds?

Best, Jaakko
