It would be great to have tests on 'develop' which can show some of the 
integration of Boost with Windows Store and Phone.

That's understandable. I am just concerned that the integration of Boost 
with Windows Store and Phone be tested on 'develop' with some real 
meaningful tests, as well as regression tested on 'develop' by someone, 
even if it yourself representing Microsoft's efforts, before it is ever 
merged to 'master' and becomes part of some future release of Boost or 
individual Boost libraries. That is the normal workflow in Boost before 
anything ever gets merged to the 'master' release.
