A third-party library has more leeway. It's up to the third-party
developer whether "it sort-of works, on common platforms" is good enough.
If e.g. an OS vendor complains that the interface is a poor match for
their OS's filesystem semantics, the boost developers can just say
"tough luck". But the ISO standardisation process is rather more involved.
