No, a header called boost/mpl/something.hpp will never be part of Core, and 
neither will a component boost::mpl::something. We might duplicate these as 
boost/core/something.hpp and boost::core::something, but they will not be 
quite the same as their mpl counterparts, and will not magically make a 
module that includes a boost/mpl/ header drop its dependency to MPL.

As John said, let's not get carried away. Module names, header directories, 
namespaces should match. boost/, boost/detail/, boost/pending/ headers that 
do not obviously belong to a specific module can arguably be considered fair 
game.
