That would work if there were some "Boost management" that actively posts
"job listings" for "Boost technical writer" position. Unforturnately,
I believe that most folks currently involved with Boost at pretty much
at their capacity, and mechanisms for setting global direction pretty
much don't exist.
What this means is if you want to improve documentation, you should
either fix it yourself, or somehow attact technical writers ;-)

It's the first time I hear that documentation refers to headers in a way
that breaks when documentation is moved. That seems kinda strange
approach.
