Are you either on the 1.36 release team and/or waiting for a 1.36  
version of a dependency library?  If neither, then what are you  
waiting for?  If the trunk had to be frozen for a release run-up,  
then there would be no reason to have a release branch in the first  
place.  Also, there are already 1.37 changes already in the trunk, so  
it can't be arbitrarily raided for 1.36 code.

[Hmm, looking at <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/2126>, it  
seems that the reporter wants a fix to be part of the 1.36 release,  
not after.  If that's not going to be done, then you should adjust  
the Milestone and Version fields.]
