The quoted lines of comment are intended to provide an explanation to revision [47967], by Joseph Gauterin, following a suggestion by Steven Watanabe.

MSVC 7.1 and Borland didn't do ADL, when we still had a using-declaration (using std::swap), inside swap_impl. So Steven suggested to do a using-directive (using namespace std) instead: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2008/08/140589.php (suggestion a)

Now that we have a using-directive, ADL appears to be done whenever appropriate, even for those specific compilers. As confirmed by the test results of specialized_in_global and specialized_in_other, at http://www.boost.org/development/tests/trunk/developer/utility-swap_.html

So would it be okay to you to have the ticket resolved as "invalid"?

Yes, in fact I think I misread the comment. Sorry!
