I have the luxury of targeting a single compiler version. Although Boost targets multiple compiler versions, I'd recommend a policy of supporting the current and previous major versions only (excluding pre-RTM major versions). People using old compilers can use old Boosts.
Some people still have incentive to get all of current Boost to work with Visual C++ 2008 and up. I don't think it's a good thing to disregard the community's needs.
Indeed, and those of us that are still running Vista, are unable to upgrade to either the 2012 or 13 releases :-( John.
