Hello, The latest Boost (1.48) is now in testing, and I'd like to switch the defaults. My first plan was to simply announce the switch then make it. I did so and got an immediate email from the release team asking to revert the default change, which I did.

Now I'd like to coordinate a time for the change. I'd like to point out that any resulting build failures are quite easy to fix: either (a) contact package upstream for boost 1.48 changes; or (b) change the build-dependency from libboostfoo-dev to libboostfoo1.46-dev. It would be quite helpful to do a rebuild of the 237 boost reverse dependencies. Lucas Nussbaum seems to be able to do this: can you run a rebuild with updated boost-defaults? Thanks, -Steve
