We definitely need to know what's happening here. If Boost.Test is going to drop VC6 support, that's fine, but we need to know sooner rather than later. I have several libraries that will need to move to
another testing infrastructure if Boost.Test drops support for older compilers.
I've been advocating for dropping ancient compilers for a while. However, I think we should NOT just drop a compiler without notification for at least one release cycle. If we are sure we want to drop a compiler, decide on it now and deprecate it for 1.34, then you can drop it in a subsequent release.
