in accordance with the announced Fedora feature[1][2], we (the Boost

fun.
Don't hesitate to ping me on irc (_petr) with any concerns that you
have.
The only concern I have is with jumping to a release later than 1.47 in
F-16 post alpha which is in fact the time when features should be
complete. So in fact it should have already landed. Post alpha the release
will branch from rawhide at which point please feel free to push > 1.48 to
F-17 rawhide with appropriate heads up to people.
We definitely won't bump again in F16 cycle. What is likely to happen
is series of isolated patches that we backport from future releases, as
requested in bug reports or otherwise. We might consider pushing 1.47.1
if it turns up, but that largely depends on whether it would be humanly
possible to review the patch-set for ABI breakages.
