This is a great discussion to have; I encourage it for those that are
so inclined.  IIUC, we're also going to have a talk about that topic
from Robert Ramey at BoostCon.  If you don't see me participating this
time around, don't take it as a lack of support or interest—it's only
because I'm too busy working on (partial) solutions to the
problems-as-I-see-them and having them ready for BoostCon.
