I imagine it's entirety possible to produce a "boost release" (or "distro" to use a term Niall suggested) consisting of all the latest releases of individual boost libraries.
You might argue that it's hard to guarantee compatibility among them. But that has been a problem Boost has been plagued with forever: no two boost releases have ever given any guaranty of compatibility. So here again, a little change in policy would very much benefit boost users.

This is a very interesting idea: The concept of a "Distribution". I could see something like: (a)- Boost "Networking/IPC" distribution (b)- Boost "Embedded" distribution (supporting Beaglebone or specific platform) (c)- Boost "Template Meta-Programming" distribution (requires C++14) (d)- Boost "Everything" Distribution (what we have now) (e)- etc.
