Creating a version 2 that assumes C++11 is likely the best route for end 
user experience, as it would create a clear boundary as to what they can 
use.

However, it would need to be done so that library maintainers do not have to 
work on two versions unless they choose to do so.

Perhaps once the move to Git is done a Boost 2 super project could be 
created, and libraries that require C++11 would only appear as sub modules 
for it.
Then libraries that are not C++03 compatible (or depends on another that is 
not) would be easy to find during testing since they will not compile.

However, IMHO, boost should move to a 2.0 version to advocate plain C++-11
without looking back to legacy compilers. As soon as the compiler landscape
evolves to support more an more C++11 features, everyone is able to benefit
from such a solution. The Boost 1.X line however should remain C++03
compliant.
