Fine by me.

can we start working on 1.33.1 ? or do you want to make some intermediary 
release ?

regarding current bugs, we have essentially 3 main types of bugs 

1 - documentation bugs
should be easy to fix
#199249, #327800, #335613, #338106, #331331

2 - graph
#326089, #333435

3 - python 
#189839, #333698 (last one is linked to the graph lib)

I am not sure if they are all (still) relevant, but we could give either make 
sure they disappear with boost 1.33.1 upload, or make an intermediary release 
to fix these guys.

what do u think ?
