However, Boost bends over backwards to make even the worst compilers
compliant with as much of it's libraries as possible. So just
because compiler X passes the majority of the tests (maybe even all)
is not an indication that the compiler is worth a plug nickel or that
Boost is in any way endorsing it.
I agree that the test results are useful but I don't agree that this
is enough to indicate that Boost does not endorse the product.
