Also possible. Moving the header will however also "fix" (as in, remove 
their dependency on Detail) its other uses:

Inclusion report for <boost/detail/endian.hpp> (in module detail):

    from math:
        <boost/math/special_functions/detail/fp_traits.hpp>
    from mpl:
        <boost/mpl/string.hpp>
    from multiprecision:
        <boost/multiprecision/cpp_int.hpp>
    from serialization:
        <boost/archive/impl/basic_binary_iarchive.ipp>
    from spirit:
        <boost/spirit/home/support/detail/endian/endian.hpp>
        <boost/spirit/home/support/detail/math/detail/fp_traits.hpp>

We could also fix them all "properly", it's just more work and less 
immediate.
