Much later, this has been done.

For example: boost::geometry::point_xy is now 
boost::geometry::model::point_xy

So please update your sources, or (recommended) a SVN tag has been 
created just before updating, so the most recent version before this 
change is here:

https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox-tags/geometry/boost-geometry-0.7.0/

The proposal contained more namespace renamals, I assume that this is 
still agreed by everyone.

1) boost::geometry::d3::point (for current point_3d) still to be done, 
but this should (I think) still be in namespace model
2) algorithm::distance instead of distance
3) and also "ogc::distance". But it might be that "st::distance" is seen 
as a more appropriate name, because all spatial databases use it like 
that (ST_Distance, STDistance(), etc).
4) singular names, no plural names (also for folders?)

Regards, Barend
