Personally, I see no reason why all libraries have to use the same
system. Enforcing this would create a huge amount of work with no real
benefit. I don't see any problem in letting the library
author/maintainer decide which he want's to use. After all, he is the
person who has to deal with it.
Don't worry about Trac/wiki containing a lot of old irrelevant stuff.
Www.Boost.org does as well. And given time, github will too.
