Assuming that your goal is to get a sans-io MQTT library in Boost, the question
reduces to which path will be more likely to produce this outcome:
1. Accepting an I/O MQTT library first
2. Rejecting the I/O MQTT library
While (under different circumstances) there exist valid arguments in favor
of (2), in this case I think that (1) is a clear winner because the other three
cases we can observe have all taken it.
