No, the public-facing design doesn't change. `BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR` is replaced by the less ugly `constexpr` and that's pretty much it.

My next question is for those individuals who proclaim that requiring C++14 and later is ok. What is the specific rationale you used to determine whether the loss of users is worth the benefit of "BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR replaced by the less ugly constexpr`?"

If you're addressing me, I've expressed my thoughts in my previous post: https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2024/12/258515.php I'm not proclaiming anything, and instead I'm saying that the decision is on the authors. If the authors do not think that "replacing BOOST_CXX14_CONSTEXPR with conspexpr" is worth the cost, then don't require C++14, simple.
