The benefit of an aditional C++11 version of an existing lib would IMO be decoupeling from dependency of other libs -like the first type-. The second type is a rewrite where some dependencies to boost are replaces with C++11 dependencies for various reasons: perhaps less lines,or better performance,or better maintainability..

In the case of boost.coroutine both applies (decoupling from dependency of other libs and better maintainability because of using C++11 features like lambdas etc.).

The one thing I would argue against would be the disappearance of the existing C++03-supporting Coroutine. I understand the quality-of-life improvements that C++11 brings for a library developer, but I would hope that the existing Coroutine wouldn't be removed from the Boost distribution. One of the past releases had issues with the immediate and mostly silent deprecation of the coroutine class interface from the previous version, so I thought I would note my request that something similar doesn't happen to today's Coroutine.
