I think at one point Hana was considering using Fit library. However, there are differences. Fit is SFINAE-friendly, space-optimized, lazy evaluated, and portable, to name a few key differences. Fit also has a much smaller scope than Hana. I can go on into more detail about these differences if you like.
It was wrong of me to mention Hana again. The only overlap that I was thinking of at the time was the lambda library. It bothers me that Boost is maintaining Bind, Phoenix, and Lambda ... now Hana and possibly Fit with some overlap in this specific domain. Although Hana and Fit are much smaller in scope compared to the other Boost libraries in this domain.

The Functional part of Hana really should be a separate library. It is not used much in the implementation anymore, and it is arguably out of scope for the library. If Fit is accepted, I would like to remove the Functional part of Hana and point users to Fit in a future version of the library. So I think we should really not consider Hana and Fit as conflicting in this regard.
