Only release managers have write access to the boost super-project. So they
can still control quality in terms of what goes into official Boost
releases.  OTOH, Individual libraries can do their own releases whenever
they want to. This decoupling is is part of why we hope that the Modular
Boost structure will scale up to much larger numbers of libraries.
