both use boost.context for context swapping

I would go with wikipedia:
'strata describe essentially the same concept as coroutines. The distinction, if there is any, is that coroutines are a language-level construct, a form of control flow, while strata are a systems-level construct, viewed as threads that happen not to run concurrently.'

Therefore I modelled boost.stratified to provide a  similiar interface/sync. primitves as boost.thread.
