Yes we are. Anyway I miss the relationship between the stability the
library should guarantee from 1.0 onward and the way we organize our
header files.

I hoped that documentation would have been in charge of that, while
header file organization would have served the developer community. I
might be wrong, but this was your argument when I tried to use folder
structure to surrogate some lack of documentation

After all, I must confess I'm concerned much more about my needs than
"most (other) users" needs. Don't get me misunderstood, I am committed
to free software and open source 100% as I've always been from the
start of the QuantLib project. it's just that I spend my coding hours
for my employer and my personal interests, not to serve generic end
users.
Trust me: those end users are longing for documentation, and don't
mind about header organization.
Last but not least, I would love if somebody else would join this
thread and contribute his opinion. Otherwise my proposal would be to
continue just between you and I in front of a beer ;-)
