I think we just having terminology misunderstanding.
Well, yes: when discussing the meaning of deprecation, I think that's significant ;-)
Deprecation indicates an intention to stop supporting a particular construct or usage, sometime in the future.
You may refer to "feature/construct deprication" in relation to a library functinality. You may refer "compiler deprication" in relation to set of compilers/configurations a library is tested on. You may refer to "support deprication" in relation to set of compilers/configurations supported by a library. First and third kinds managed excusively by library authors.
Sure, agreed.
Second - by the fact which compiler boost performed testing on.
A library author can support a compiler by doing his own private testing or by contributing testing resources for it. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
