It might also need to depend on Predef.

Perhaps; we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. At the moment - as far as I can see - it's only boost/detail/endian.hpp that needs Predef, and this header is actually misplaced; it needs to be in Predef instead of Detail.

I think the plan is to deprecate that header, rather than move it. I was thinking more about things like this: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/config-predef-Is-it-OK-for-boost-config-t...
