Here is another motivation: Howard Hinnant's std proposal "N3980: Types
Don't Know #" is basically a reinvention of the serialization
technique, but limited to hash functions. So something less generic
could enter into C++17 unless someone suggests something more generic.

Regarding upgrading Boost.Serialization to C++14, you could start
by looking at Cereal, which is a C++11 reimplementation of
Boost.Serialization:
