It looks like a large number of libraries will no longer build properly against them based on this report. I'm not sure what the procedure is to come to an agreement to drop a compiler in a release, but it looks like we should consider dropping msvc-7.1 and msvc-8.0.
There is no procedure. For that matter there is no communal procedure to decide which libraries should be tested either. Basically, Boost is (still) a free country, anyone can test whatever they want and post the results. There is no agreement necessary. Robert Ramey
