The Boost 1.34.1 release branch will certainly be the basis of Boost 
1.35.0. I'm not certain we've figured out quite how to handle merging 
the bits from trunk over to that branch. The good news is that 
Subversion makes it very, very easy to move directories around.

No. There's a lot on the CVS trunk that will need to be merged over 
anyway; so there's no reason to hold off on doing useful work.

I'll send out an announcement when we're sure, but I'd like to move over 
early next week. We'll give a couple days notice before we switch, of 
course, so that everyone can get any outstanding work committed to CVS.
