What does "drop support" mean?

a) libraries should fail to compile with C++03? Any library which does so should be considered "broken" in some sense?

b) libraries should/must be implemented in C++11(+?)? Any library which isn't should/would be considered "broken"

c) libraries should/must be compilable with C++11(+?)? Any libraries which don't would be considered broken.

None of the above, but you already knew that, didn't you?

No. It's a serious question. The phrase "drop support" is confusing to me in the context of Boost. Robert Ramey.
