[boost] [utility] convention inconsistencies

Hello all,

I'm adding IdentityType to Boost.Utility and I have a couple of question
about conventions:

1) Is there a reason why utility.hpp does not include all headers in
boost/utility/?
2) Is there a reason why in the Documentation the utility sub-libraries are
not named Boost.Utility/EnableIf bust just Boost.EnableIf?
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/

In boost/utility/ directory:

addressof.hpp
base_from_member.hpp
binary.hpp
compare_pointees.hpp
declval.hpp
enable_if.hpp
identity_type.hpp
in_place_factory.hpp
result_of.hpp
swap.hpp
typed_in_place_factory.hpp
value_init.hpp

But boost/utility.hpp includes only some of those:

#ifndef BOOST_UTILITY_HPP
#define BOOST_UTILITY_HPP

#include <boost/utility/addressof.hpp>
#include <boost/utility/base_from_member.hpp>
#include <boost/utility/binary.hpp>
#include <boost/utility/enable_if.hpp>
#include <boost/checked_delete.hpp>
#include <boost/next_prior.hpp>
#include <boost/noncopyable.hpp>

#endif  // BOOST_UTILITY_HPP

Thanks.
