I think you misunderstood what Alisdair said. He offered to help REMOVE support for old borland compilers in new boost releases. The suggestion is that 1.34 supports the latest Borland compiler, but is not cluttered with workrounds for previous Borland compilers. This seems like a good compromise to me.
Precisely, although I fear that will not remove too many :(
I agree.
I am also in favour of '1 deprecated release' before removing support entirely, just to put users on notice.
I agree.
That is a separate issue though, and affects VC6/gcc2.95 just as much.
There also remains the issue of test resources. If we have no-one regression testing a compiler, it de-facto loses active support so it is up to the interested community to provide support.
