There is no need to question them: they are non-existant. I am not a professional developer, at least I haven't been yet.

Are you aware of what dependencies imply?
If low coupling is maintained, I don't see how having dependencies is such a problem. AFAIK, the interfaces of boost libraries have kept stable once they were accepted in release. Also, I wouldn't consider dependency over something as trivial as a tuple to be the same as a dependency over a full-fledged parser library, for example. A tuple is just an enhancement to the language to express your algorithms with. Some people even consider C++ with that kind of library addition to be a new language altogether, and that is why they use boost. Maybe all those "trivial" libraries should be grouped into a core library. But then the core would probably become way too big.
