Have you ever examined the ports that actually use boost and
boost-pyhton... it seems completely random sometimes which one is which
(i.e. stuff that doesn't require pyhton often depends on boost-python
and stuff that does depend on it relies on boost).... this leads to some
really nasty conflicts and hard to resolve (unless you have done it
before) ordering problems (if I build port A then B then B will fail
because it wanted one flavor of boost when the other one is the
installed one but if you do B then A then it works fine because A
doesn't care what flavor of boost it is looking for).... the classic
example of this is net-p2p/deluge and multimedia/miro where deluge wants
python and miro doesn't care.... Since it is trivial to have a
build/ruin depend on an OPTION (and you already do it via a gnob no more
complexity it added by doing it as an OPTION)... Almost every time I
have brought boost problems up the overwelming consenus among
maintainers that relie on boost is two seperate ports is completely insane.
