Rather than make this a one-way critique of Gennadiy, I for one am glad that 
he can find the time to make changes in what is a very important part of 
Boost.

Given that these macros were deprecated a long time ago and documented as 
such, the only critique I can level is that other boost library developers 
didn't act on this advice sooner.

I'm grateful to everybody in boost of course, but sometimes I'm ashamed at 
the level of criticism being thrown at individuals with a proven track 
record in boost.
