Boost 1.x is obsolete.

It is obsolete because enough of Boost 1.x is now in the STL that you no longer need to use Boost 1.x.

It feels like either of us is living in a parallel universe, really.

+1 - and I'm not in the Douglas one either :-( Compiler and language changes are continuous, not strictly quantizable, and so Boost must continue to track changes as is has from the start. C++ 11/14 will be followed by C++17 and C++2z ... I'm entirely unconvinced that the concept of a step change to Boost 2.x is any help at all. Sorry. Paul --- Paul A.
