Good question - I havn't really thought about it enough yet. This is
mainly because I haven't figured out how to do it.
The basic question that occurs to me is "is this library worth
maintaining and keeping in boost". If dropping the library would break
a lot of users code, then the answer is an easy yes. If dropping the
library would result in breaking no code - the answer is an easy no.
Otherwise it's a judgement call we can argue about. But in order to do
this we need to know the answer the question: "How much code would be
broken if not in Boost. Hopefully this sheds light on this.
