Today I got bit by auto-linking again. As I forgot to define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB in a CI build. I can't remember a time when auto-linking has been beneficial. And I've lost the number of times I've had to answer user questions with "Auto-linking is getting in the way. Define BOOST_ALL_NO_LIB and link normally." more times than I can count. If there was ever a benefit to auto-linking it has not surpassed the drawbacks.

What issue did you have with auto-linking?
