I would welcome this. It does, however, sound likea reather large undertaking.
In a smaller but similar situation, I was once motivatedin my own research to identify various time epochsin C++.
Probably similar to others, I identified for my purposes:
1) Pre-C++11 (basically C++03)2) C++11 but no more.3) C++ newest
Intuitively, I think number 2 is a great first stepin moving and migrating toward moden C++.Most compilers are conformant with modernC++11 now, even embedded systems compilers.

Kind regards, Chris

 Hi,

Prompted by general feelings about Boost perceived lack of modernization 
and internal "bloat",
and after an explicit survey on what users dislike about Boost [1], I 
decided to try and write a more
or less fleshed out proposal for an epoch-based organization of Boost 
libraries. I've extensively
tested and refined the proposal during discussions on Reddit and the 
Boost Slack channel,
and I feel this is now ready for presentation at the mailing list:

https://github.com/joaquintides/boost_epoch/blob/master/README.md

I hope the proposal can start a productive conversation. Looking forward 
to your feedback.

Best,

Joaquín M López Muñoz
