What is the motivation for having discussion regarding serialization and/or persistence take place on a separate list? Is it inherently different in some way than other boost projects? Has it consumed more "space" than say shared_ptr ? Is is so disjoint from other boost topics? Is the discussion some how different than other boost discussions?. Are other topics candidates for a separate list? Would this "other list" be searchable with the WWW interface?
I concede that I can't follow every detail of the mailing lists. I really only place close attention to those topics that I already have a personal interest in and/or "catch my eye" for some reason. But I can't see that the serialization discussion was so much different than others that take place on the list. Rather than commenting on the details of your review - which would only repeat points previously made by myself and others - I would note that it re-enforces my skeptism that a consensus can be achieved on an implementable set of features.
