The "correct" thing to do would be to use 'BOOST_TESTED_AT', i.e.

BOOST_WORKAROUND(BOOST_MSVC, BOOST_TESTED_AT(1700))

This will use the workaround for new versions by default, then when new
compilers are released, outdated tests can be found by using
BOOST_DETECT_OUTDATED_WORKAROUNDS. I'm not sure if anyone actually does
that. It's described in 'boost/detail/workaround.hpp'.
