Deleting support for C++11 and older versions means breaking user code. Therefore, forking means fracturing of the community. I don't see how this is helpful to the users. Further: are you saying that there is something wrong with some libraries that are part of Boost becoming standard in the future? How are we going to deal with the resulting two versions later on? Fork again? No, we'll deal with it the same way we deal with e.g. boost::error_code/std::error_code today (as an aside, it is notable that users who use exception handling don't have this specific problem, because exception types are not coupled with function signatures).
