+[*Sever limitations:]
+
+There are some severe bugs that prevent the use of the library on concrete contexts, in particular:
+
+* on thread specific storage that prevent the library to be used with dynamic libraries,
+* The experimental features of boost::future have some severe holes that make the program crash unexpectedly.
