Yes, as you remarked, lately we fiddled quite a bit with these 
containers. We had too. Luckily, since they don't exist in C++98 mode, 
we don't the kind of annoying issue we have with std::list vs size and I 
don't think a quality implementation can renounce to the EBO for the 
allocator, since it benefits the vast majority of users most of the 
times. When we globally break the ABI we have to do the same for the 
associative containers too.

Thanks!
Paolo.
