Hi Matthias,

Noel did reply to all my questions so far.

Since I'm pretty new to the boost release process, git and bjam, I'm 
sure I'll have more questions pretty soon.

Thanks

Alain

It’s kinda easy to break things and, given the scarcity of MPI and Graph Parallel testers, I prefer to test the PR’s, develop and master branches on internal resources to ensure I don’t hit any problems before I push them to github.
