It is obsolete because enough of Boost 1.x is now in the STL that you no longer need to use Boost 1.x.
I don't think this is even close to accurate. It is true that a bunch of the C++11 stuff boost had first, and is now redundant...and even more of the C++11 stuff was built into boost. However, all that isn't more than about 15% of what boost does.
This isn't the claim. The claim is that so long as the libraries in Boost which depend on STL11 equivalents cannot use the STL11 equivalent, they are suffering from at least these problems:
What do you mean by "STL11 equivalents" ?
