While that's true, it's also true that many of those early submissions 
went on to become some of the most fundamental parts of the C++ standard 
library.  An argument can therefore be made that the quality of Boost 
*submissions* has gone down, and this is reflected in both a higher 
rejections rate and in lower quality libraries being accepted.

What I think is happening is that as both Boost and the standard library 
are maturing, most of the obvious gaps in the library space are being 
filled, leaving fewer opportunities for great uncontroversial 
general-purpose libraries.  So we get libraries that are either highly 
specialized or only incremental improvements on what came before them.
