Has any thought been put into releasing multiple split boost packages
containing orthogonal functionality (boost.python, boost.wave, boost.serialization,
etc.) ?
I think the more packages get added to boost the more urgent an issue
this becomes.

This may even be something to be addressed not only at the packaging level
but one level down in the way boost source code (and the build system)
is organized...

Thanks,
