Despite the intent of the reviewers, he could, as the Review Manager, reject the library and call for a new review after changes. He could, instead, list conditions you must meet to satisfy a conditional acceptance, but that's not certain at this point.

Hi all, and sorry for not have my home work done yet.

Robert, Rob, you are right that I could have rejected the library but 
I've preferred to accept it subject to a new review. The main reason is 
that I believe that this library would be useful for the C++ Boost 
community. It's not ready yet, but the features the library proposes are 
useful.

Rob, the conditions will not be for conditional acceptance, but for 
having a new review. Sorry if this was not clear. with my sentence

 >  Conditional acceptance (a new review is needed)

Unfortunately I've no time to do the report of the modifications that 
will be needed before the new review. The deadline for Oulu C++ standard 
committee is end of this month and I have some papers to finish.

Please, be patient,

Vicente
