that's not how I see submodule-based git projects in the general case. If most Boost modules are independent (are they?), this process appears to introduce unnecessary coupling, rather like testing a bunch of unrelated feature branches together instead of validating and merging them one at a time as their individual developers feel they're ready.
Many Boost libraries are built on other Boost libraries. I believe some of the referenced libraries are API-versioned. It would be unfortunate if Boost produced a release that doesn't work out of the box because library A has become incompatible with consuming library B.
