As the change is a breaking change I would like to update all the 
libraries at once. I have identified the following dependent libraries: 
asio, filesystem, thread. Are there other libraries?

Should I introduce the change conditionally so that the users could 
comeback to the preceding semantics?
I was thinking on defining a new BOOST_SYSTEM_NOEXCEPT that the users 
will use instead of BOOST_NOEXCEPT. The user could define 
BOOST_SYSTEM_NOEXCEPT as nothing to get the old semantic.
Of course as the needed change in the user code is minor, we could also 
choose the drastic way and add a breaking change respect to the 
preceding version. Beman up to you to decide.

Best,
Vicente
