 I'd say that it is out of date. We don't impose any requirements not to
use some C++ features any more in (upcoming) wxWidgets 3. But it's true
that we have to make sure that our code builds on a lot of platforms, some
of them with rather bad C++/STL support (for instance Windows CE or Symbian
still don't have the latter at all) and this still imposes some restrictions
in practice.

 Anyhow, we'd definitely be interested in collaborating with Boost
developers as much as possible. In particular, the ideas/feedback about the
new, better API for what we call wxTNG would be very welcome. Please post
to wx-dev if you're interested in discussing this further.
