Not that I care about 2.95 either, but I think the reasoning in this thread is a bit faulty. Developers just say "it's too old and non-conforming". But who knows what's used in practice, especially outside of bleeding-edge Linux distros?
Even conservative distributions like Debian use gcc 3 now.
We don't know which ports of gcc are there in the wild.
If a Linux (or any other OS) distribution still uses gcc 2 then it is unlikely the distribution wants to support modern versions of Boost, anyway (if it supports Boost at all).
It's still better to notify users, IMO. If nobody cares, then no discussion is needed at all. - Volodya
