Personally, I think boost should refrain from the bloat that is
inevitable from "Hey this library does XYZ, we should have a boost
library that does it".

I'm happy with the direction boost is going in (if that counts for
anything). I look to boost to solve data structure related problems for
me where C++ lacks, less so for other things that a full library like
POCO can provide.
