It's OK, I guess. While I read all the guidelines on the Boost site, I'm
just left with learning the process the hard way :) If when Vicente and I
asked for a release date 3+ weeks ago someone had said "don't know when
we'll close release but your new libs should be merged ASAP because you
already passed the begin of the release cycle time", that would have at
least hinted the current situation and I'd have taken appropriate actions...
Getting no reply instead, gave me no clue.
