The issue is that merging Move would require also updating 
Intrusive/Interprocess to the official move library. I think we can 
ambiguity issues between code using the old Interprocess/Intrusive and 
Move. Changes in Interprocess/Intrusive libraries, are mainly 
find-replace changes in namespaces (previously was in 
::boost::interprocess::detail) and macros.

I don't think waiting for boost 1.48 is a big problem if it's version is 
scheduled soon. No 1.47 library depends on Move. I think it's important 
to maintain merging rules against late mergers ;-)

If 1.48 is going to take a long time and users badly need the library I 
would propose a merge, wait a couple of cycles (tests seem fine in 
trunk), and then decide.

Best,
