You could also become a maintainer for Boost.DisjointSets without merging 
it with another package. I don't mind the merge, I am just saying the two 
need not be linked.

The headers might be in boost/pending, but there are many external users. 
Please try not to break them gratuitously. If you move the header to a 
different subdirectory, please put in the old position a dummy header that 
includes the new one, etc.
