There's a non-zero amount of users to whom the lack of ABI stability in boost is a reason not to touch boost with a ten-foot pole.
That's not common. It's very unusual to want to upgrade Boost without recompiling the rest of the software. Typically the people who want ABI stability use the system-supplied Boost and it's fixed for the particular distro.
I must concur with Ville here; I have had several people tell me they won’t use Boost because “it changes with every release”. [ Personally, I don’t have a lot of sympathy for this attitude, but it *does* exist, and is not an isolated incident. ] — Marshall
