Hmm, I'm not sure about that one.

The wording of this announcement was different from that for other  
reviews.  I suppose it might be better marked "Accepted  
Provisionally".  I was in contact with the authors of this library  
for a time and unfortunately they were not able to prepare it for a  
new review, so it's now equivalent to rejected since the provisions  
are not being met.

That might be a reference to Container Traits, which was accepted,  
but renamed to Boost.Range.
