[boost] #include <boost/...> to #include "boost/..." transition?

As has been discussed many times in the past, the C++ standard provides 
#include <...> for "headers" (which are only well-defined in the standard 
for the standard library), and #include "..." for "source files" (which 
includes the Boost header files).  See section 16.2.

For historical reasons relating to problem compilers, Boost code has always 
used <boost/...> instead of "boost/...", and thus relies on 
implementation-defined behavior (16.2/2).

The historical reasons no longer apply.  Should we being to transition 
Boost code to the more correct #include "boost/..." form?

My personal feeling is that, yes, we should begin a gradual transition. New 
code should begin to use the  #include "boost/..." form. Existing code 
should be modified over time, particularly when other changes are being 
made that will force recompilation anyhow.

Comments?
