Reading mailing lists and usenet, the only people who are still dependent upon GCC 2.95 are typically proprietary software vendors who are stuck with it for ABI reasons, and rarely the odd person who finds a regression in a newer GCC, but didn't bother reporting it, and lazy people who couldn't be bothered to upgrade. Those using it purely for ABI stability will generally never move to a newer GCC or libstdc++, or even upgrade any of the system libraries, so I wouldn't treat them too seriously for ongoing development.
The embedded world always lags quite a bit in their ability to upgrade, yet they really want (and can benefit from) the facilities of Boost. Witness QNX. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
