This was the plan. It's still unclear at the moment. Depending what the 
community decide. I personally prefer to get rid of ancient compilers 
support and anyone interested in msvc 6.5 could use boost 1.33.1. But we may 
decide to just deprecate it in this release and get rid of it later. Or may 
keep it forever. Check "supported compilers" discussion. Let us know your 
opinion on this top in general.
