In GIL, we'd like to merge a set of seven commits with minor and
documentation changes [1] that we believe do not require request
for permission.

[1] https://lists.boost.org/boost-gil/2019/11/0353.php

There is one change we are debating [2] if it needs permission or not:

* Remove include/boost/gil/version.hpp file as unused
   https://github.com/boostorg/gil/commit/84b155630d1d59d604ba9c1e083c7d8ae8097e33

[2] https://lists.boost.org/boost-gil/2019/11/0354.php

The boost/gil/version.hpp was added in Boost 1.68 and
we are finding it useless and confusing, so we've decided to remove it.

We don't think there has been any wide use of or dependence on
this header, so we consider it safe to be removed at any time.

Can we merge the removal of the boost/gil/version.hpp as post-beta merge now?

Best regards,
