It's not clear what you're arguing for, or against.

In my opinion, it's better to develop these two specific components in the 
same library, both from physical design and logical point of view. So that's 
what I've been doing, and your not seeing why that should be doesn't change 
my opinion.

So if you're arguing that I should do something else, I don't agree.

If, on the other hand, you're arguing that `expected<T, E...>` should not 
get into Boost without a review, that's a legitimate position and if other 
reviewers feel the same way, and the review verdict states that as an 
acceptance condition, I will respect that decision, remove `expected` from 
Variant2 and never add it back.
