totally off topic, but I just wanted to get it off my chest.  This is 
therapy for me.

I suppose your right.  Maybe infrastructure isn't sexy.  But dealing 
with bad infrastructure is a HUGE time waster.  I can't see how it is 
that I seem to the only one that gets frustrated with this.  BTW it's 
not just Boost.  In many of the organizations I've worked for it's even 
worse.  I just can't wrap my head around this.

Don't get me started on documentation.
