Remove libraries? Current users of the to be removed library would be 
delighted to learn that their code will no longer compile with the next 
version of Boost. Deprecated libraries? Seems like a good idea, if the new 
library offers a strict superset of the features of the old one. In reality 
this will almost never happen.

Probably not, but why is this important?
