When we started the C++ migration there was significant fear that heavy use of templates such as the STL or boost would lead to too steep a curve for the non C++ coders as well as non trivial compatability issues (for example with forte). I'm completely in support of tasteful use of boost and STL features though. Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
