Our organization has been following the example in the first pages of the
getting started guide [1][2] and using #include <boost/header.path.hpp>
with $BOOST_ROOT in our include path, so changing that to 'include' would
require major source changes to our (and presumably lots of others') code
bases.

I think this is far too disruptive of a change for the benefits described.
