Existing practice is important for standardization. Generally, being part of a well-known and widely adopted project like Boost offers more opportunity for adoption to a new library than it being separate.
Also it allows for evolution. Standardization does not.
There is deprecation in the standard if I am not mistaken. Removal is also up to compiler vendors as we saw not so long ago with VS2017. There is a bit a deprecation in boost, barely removal. If we want higher velocity in boost with the same energy/effort, we should reduce the mass. It is as simple as that. Raffi
