Another point that occur to me is that: how much different is this 
situation than with other existing library that has a different pace of 
updates (like ASIO for ex.) than regular Boost and for which the 
asymmetry between the current version in boost and the current free 
standing version may be large but get fixed at some later point ?

In both case we have a software that lives following its own agenda then 
get merged back into boost at some (ir)regular intervals.
