Sorry if my tone was a bit harsh in my review. I just wrote a 
difficult email regarding the Boost SC before it, and I am not in a 
good mood from that.

My review was my recommendation to the review manager. I believe he 
can choose from people's reviews what to include in his final report, 
so he could choose to not follow any or all of my recommendations. 
That's always been the way till now surely? When I review managed 
Antony's TypeIndex, I tried to list the consensus points raised most 
commonly as the basis of the decision, and I mentioned those outlier 
points in a footnote at the end more for people's interest and 
completeness.

Knowing Antony, I can't see any of those conditions being a problem 
except the standalone support. That's a *lot* of additional work. I 
would love if he invested that work, but it is no personal problem 
for me if he chooses not to. And I would very much understand if he 
didn't.

Niall
