Boost library, in general, is often appreciated for its minimal, yet complete and portable implementations of various concepts. Considering that thread cancellation, along with other thread control methods such as stop, resume, suspend etc, is either purposefully not supported or made deprecated in other libraries, including Java threads (forgive me for daring to leave C++ realm), wouldn't it be wise not to include such feature at all?

Thread cancellation in C++ is a difficult and often contentious topic, so I don't think it would be safe to say that. However, there is at least the beginning of a thread cancellation implementation in the thread_dev branch in CVS. I haven't looked at it yet to see how (in)complete it is.
