This relates to another thread. Should libraries be marked as
stable/experimental?
No library can be stable before it has met its first real users. New
libraries are marked as experimental in at least one Boost release.
This ought to be OK, since the Boost release cycle is so short
nowadays. The release must be commonly available first though.
