I asked about MPL recently in this thread:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/253920

There were a few more general threads about sublibs in the recent past:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/252054
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/236737

So the ability to create sublibs seems to be the common knowledge, and 
everyone decides whether to use it or not for their benefit. I'm not sure 
there was an official announcement from Boost.Build team or the Steering 
Committee though.
