Hi Daniel, I'd like some more information regarding these two bugs, where Boost has defined but not used a local typedef.

I looked through policy in vain for an applicable directive. Did you have one in mind? If not, what is your rationale for this severity? I can guess you are concerned that this compiler warning causes a build failure for other packages that treat errors as warnings. I agree this is a nuisance and will endeavour to fix the issue. However, in general I cannot agree that this alone makes it "serious". The build failure is caused by the package using -Werror. An easy workaround is to add -Wno-unused-local-typedef for those packages using Boost and -Werror. Regards, -Steve
