For BBv1 the responsibility was mine. But for BBv2 it's been Volodya's 
task. It's unfortunate that he was occupied right at key merge time this 
time around. But eventually we have to resolve the issue of doing 
"stable" BBv2 releases that can then be merged consistently to Boost. In 
the same way I do the bjam releases and merges.
