Of course not. This compiler is not MSVC6 and BOOST_MSVC is not defined for it. No MSVC workarounds are applied (unless by mistake).

Maybe if you can get concrete and point out a compiler in config/compiler/* that could have a problem with the above kind _MSC_VER removal, then I might understand.

I can't. I have no idea what compilers in use today (besides Intel) define _MSC_VER and to what.
