Re: [boost] No more cycles going forward

Boost 1.77.0 released with no dependency cycles between libraries.

This wasn't easy to achieve and we want to preserve it, going forward. We should not regress and allow libraries to introduce dependency cycles in any future Boost release. i.e. Doing so should be considered a release blocker.

Currently, such a regression exists (introduced last month in Context): Asio -> Coroutine -> Context -> Asio

It should be fixed before we lock the branches for the 1.78 release, or we should not take this change in the release.

Perhaps an issue for Boost.Context is in order. It seems backwards for it to depend on ASIO.
