Andrey's suggested approach of tackling things from the other side and removing everything from Utility that depends on something other than Config also deserves consideration.
I think I drew the wrong conclusions from the earlier discussion about Utility (when you moved Assert out). Utility continuing to live on, for components that have only Config dependencies sounds OK too. I had concerns about taking a [conditional, upon BOOST_NO_CXX11_STD_ADDRESSOF] dependency on Utility because it was a generic utility/common catch-all library that seemed to have many dependencies.
How far are we from the goal of having utility only depend on Boost.Config? Is help needed in this area, if it's the direction we wish to go?
