It looks like for some reasons that it still use boost::shared_ptr instead of std::shared_ptr even though C++11 is 7 years old.

Boost needs to support (a.o.) VC7.1 till eternity (needs to run on WinXP), so this will stay this way forever... "We don't support VC7.1" or "Move on", is NOT an option in 2018 as far as Boost is concerned.

This is not the reason why some Boost libraries use boost:;shared_ptr rather than std::shared_ptr, and I am sure you know it. So please don't post ridiculous nonsense as you have above.
