We don't need a Boost-wide agreement to proceed. To move a file from module 
A to module B, we only need agreement from A and B's maintainers and lack of 
objections from the Boost community. This is easier to achieve that 
Boost-wide agreement, although in some cases B's maintainer may not be 
thrilled to accept responsibility for something he didn't write or design 
but will need to maintain.

The problem with Utility is that it doesn't have a maintainer.
