Feel free to participate into the conversation I have with the Qt 
Project group, they have useful ideas Boost can make use of.

I understand Boost is hesitant with root_ptr but perhaps we can add 
memory usage statistics and "adapt" dynamically the memory pool used and 
things like that.  That's one thing missing in either shared_ptr or 
root_ptr.
