[system] Do you use the deprecated features or cygwin/linux/windows_error.hpp?
I'd like to query the Boost community as to whether certain legacy features of Boost.System are in use; namely, (1) everything guarded by BOOST_SYSTEM_ENABLE_DEPRECATED and (2) the cygwin_error.hpp, linux_error.hpp, or windows_error.hpp headers. Does anyone use these, and for what purpose? I'm thinking of dropping the deprecated features. In addition, does anyone use boost::throws()? I'm thinking of at least discouraging its use in the documentation, if not deprecating it outright.

FWIW, I do still have some code that uses get_system_category() and namespace posix (from back when that was its only spelling), but I've been updating them as they're noticed to the new spellings, so I wouldn't consider it a blocker.
