Yes. :)

So I guess the question would be, is there interest from the boost 
admins in accepting an rpm spec file (based on Patrick and Neal's work) 
and making it the recommended way for packagers to build boost.  Or said 
another way, is there interest in putting the boost seal of approval on 
packaging and installation methods?  If there is interest, what are the 
next steps for getting an rpm spec file accepted?
