Didn't we decide to drop ancient compilers?
Not yet, but we never officially defined what it means to support a compiler either. There is certainly a growing feeling their time has come, but no definitive list yet. I have proposed deprecating MSVC6 and GCC2.95.3 in this release (1.34) so that users at least get some notice they are vanishing. I would then hope the compiler config would still detect these compilers, and #error with a message saying Boost 1.34 was the last supported version, so anyone trying to use them at least knows which old version of Boost to retrieve (and likewise, I recommend this for any formal deprecation policy we finally adopt) I am still waiting for the bun-fight over Borland support - as my employer relies on this compiler still and I am hard at work in my evenings working on a setup of updated workarounds for the new compiler released last month. -- AlisdairM
