I didn't mean this, I was just pointing out that a bit of commitment is 
necessary to submit a library to Boost. We certainly don't want authors 
to disappear once they have "given" their library to Boost.

There was no real argument, I was just trying to understand a bit more 
about this library. Francisco's description wasn't very clear on how 
this new approach compared to those that are already popular in the C++ 
community.

In any case, I'm sorry if I have offended anyone, that wasn't my intention.
