I would like to echo this sentiment. IMHO a good plan would be to
release Phoenix V3 in 1.47 as a first class citizen. That will increase
the exposure of the library and provide more confidence to users in
selecting Phoenix over BLL and possibly Boost.Bind. As releases
continue, then we can add forwarding headers and other mechanism to
eventually deprecate BLL.
Thomas has done an excellent job at mitigating the technical issues for
migration to Phoenix; however, we should not hold up release of the
library while the logistics are being considered.
