Every GitHub repo includes an issue tracker by default (this appears 
to be true of all current Boost repos as well). Users who don't know 
better will submit their issues there. Are you going to switch off the 
trackers for all GitHub repos (this seems to be possible) in order to 
stop them? If not, how do you plan to prevent the change and 
fragmentation?

In the latter case, my suggestion to request or encourage that new 
issues be submitted to GitHub might actually help to reduce 
fragmentation. But I wouldn't necessarily object against closing the 
GitHub trackers either.
