I endorse mp11 even if don't share all the design decisions. I believe 
that there is a place for other meta-programming libraries in Boost, 
mp11 would be a good candidate. The library that users will find more 
useful will survive, and the others will dead. We need more competition 
in Boost.

It would be interesting however to see what all of them have in common 
(if there is something). Some kind of interaction between the 
MetaProgramming libraries will be welcome.

If there are other MetaProgramming libraries ready for submission it 
will be extra to have a shared review.
I suggest the authors of these MetaProgramming libraries, wanting a 
better MetaProgramming library in Boost, to contact each other (copying 
the review wizards) in order have a common review.
I suspect that from the 5 MetaProgramming libraries (mp11, metal, meta, 
brigand and kvasir)  that are circulating, not all the authors want his 
library in Boost, so the problem will be reduced.

Best,
Vicente
