Remarkable how much this ignorant and self-serving elitism could do for the
C++ community over the years. Surely by accident or by mistake.

... changing Boost into non-Boost, because everyone feels the need to remake
things that are alien to him in his own image.
Boost has been created and has been maintained (not just in a technical
sense) by developers, and what it is today reflects it. A steering committee
of non-Boost-developers is capable of producing something good, but this
good thing will no longer be Boost, except by name.
