I believe that the fancy-pants trac-formatted views of the repository are
disabled out of performance concerns.

You can still browse the source yourself via the SVN repository URLs,
that is, replace /trac with /svn and remove /browser:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/browser/sandbox/variadic_macro_data/boost/variadic_macro_data/vmd.hpp?rev=73525
https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/variadic_macro_data/boost/variadic_macro_data/vmd.hpp?rev=73525

Even if it was possible to hack Trac into linking straight into the
repository, it might not be a good idea as the Boost servers are quite
overloaded.

I'm sure that grafik has input on this.
