It would require some political bravery from the SC though, as users will get upset.
First you'd have to get the SC to agree with you. It would be weird for an
organization that provides a fairly stable base of libraries to users to
arbitrarily go mess with that stability. IMHO, of course.

Judging from that dependency graph you posted a while ago, you're right there is a small core of libraries where deprecation due to lack of maintenance can't work.
Why is usage within Boost itself any more important that usage by users? I don't see how the issue is any different; if you remove a library, you break somebody. Why is it "good" to break outside users but "bad" to break internal users? To me, both are bad. -- Nevin ":-)" Liber mailto:nevin@eviloverlord.com (847) 691-1404
