Re: [boost] Opinions on merging Assert, StaticAssert, ThrowException into Core

Recently Core grew with additional dependencies on StaticAssert (in 1.76) and ThrowException (in the next release), previously it was only depending on Assert and Config. That made a lot of libraries checkout the same four repositories, three of them containing only a few headers. Merging into a single dependency will affect mostly positive about 100 libraries and negative 1: StlInterfaces (depends on Assert, and will on Core).

Such a refactor will affect user code not only Boost libraries. I don't know how much user code exists that depends on each individual repo, though IMO it's better to leave things as they are.
