I'd dare to suggest we go one step further while we're here. We should join the 3 year cycle and drop support for c++11 in 2026, c++14 in 2029, etc. This gives users a planning window and understanding of where Boost is heading over time. And it matches what the standard is doing so it's already part of the bigger culture of evolution.

I think we should not mark drop dates depending on when a standard is released. IMHO we should put them depending on when fully conforming (core and stdlib) compilers were released in major platforms. For some standards, conforming compilers need extra time. Best, Ion
