Isn't it? You are asking Boost to somehow force maintainers to do something by having a policy of maintaining API stability. I'm just saying I'm good with current (lack of) that policy, and why.
Two points 1. There is already a policy for example there are times when you can introduce breaking changes, but it happens like very few months 2. From a maintainer POV, obviously less rules is better, but what I'm talking about is a user POV.
I would note modular boost helps re picking and choosing libraries and hence library versions.
Once again it is OK if you copy for example a private copy of boost for you and use it internally. It is almost never the case for open-source projects. Best, Artyom
