I don't remember there being an influx of underprepared libraries. IIRC, endorsements were an attempt to prevent review periods with no submitted reviews. We didn't have those for a while, but we still did have review periods with little reviews, so I'm not sure how successful that attempt was. Anyway, as I said, there are many ways to express interest in the library and a (non-binding) intention to review it. It's the formality of the act of endorsement and what it entails for the one who endorses is what I don't like or understand. _______________________________________________ Boost mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://lists.boost.org/mailman3/lists/boost.lists.boost.org/ Archived at: https://lists.boost.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/IEXGXYFRDMHVRGWPMAFBNIDL3ZOQZVJ5/
