Whatever is to be done I would say it is important that it is documented which version is the last to support any particular compiler. I'm still dependant on Visual Studio 6 and I recall not finding it clearly stated which was the last version of Boost to support it.
That's a very good point. Visual Studio 6 was quite badly handled. I believe at some point config introduced some incompatible code. No one noticed for a couple of versions, so it isn't exactly clear when it happened. It would have been better if we'd had a better cut off point - and maybe even backported fixes to that version for people who use the compiler.
