Re: [boost] Removing old config macro and increasingcompilerrequirements.

...

I suspect from a purely practical perspective, few libraries are still compatible with that compiler, so I'm inclined to agree we might as well drop support. Of course that opens a whole can of worms, because if we agreed to that then there's a whole slew of config macros (and associated workarounds) that can be removed.

How is that 'a can of worms' rather than 'a good thing' ?

Well, can it not be both? ;-) John.
