I don't know; I haven't been probing people about changes we could make to the EH specification, and I doubt I could do it effectively because I don't understand the issues at a deep level. The way the committee works is that those who care (meaning you) have to participate, or nothing changes. I can say that I _sense_ no general desire to change anything significant about EH, but that may just be because nobody knows there's an important issue. With that, I'll repeat: please take this non-Boost-related part of your discussion off-list. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
