Thanks Mateusz, Vinnie, Marcelo and all the reviewers. I'm just a voice of
appreciation from the sidelines (of this round) for both the aedis library
and re Boost "health" in general.
Pre or not the review / reviewer effort has, I hope, helped the
author/progressed the library. Is there not potential to make the review
result a platform for gaining a "community" round the library, and when it
is ready, to submit again? Surely any such community would include many
(new) potential reviewers as well as mentors, and so provide "incubation"?
I think this review can be a success. It is not match over.

All the best
Darryl.
