Because it's not the SC's job to decide whether Boost.Build should be
dropped or not, and the details of how CMake should be supported. If
folks still want to work on Boost.Build, nothing prevents them from 
doing so. Boost.Build may or may not be mandatory for being considered
a Boost library going forward, but that's one thing that needs to be 
determined by the community.
