Re: [boost] Dropping C++03 support (again)

Greetings,

I have a novel idea, let's drop C++03 support.

To that end, I propose the following:

Boost release 1.82.0 is announced as the last one with C++03 support. If critical problems are found in it post-release, we will issue 1.82.1, 1.82.2 and so on, as appropriate (as C++03 users will not be able to just upgrade to 1.83.)

Boost release 1.83.0 is announced to require C++11 at minimum.

An equally daring proposal: Call in Boost 2.0 to mark the beginning of a new epoch.
