That the next submission of Text (and thus  the content of
boostorg/text if accepted) contains nothing that isn't licensed under
the BSL.  The mechanics of achieving this are fortunately not up to
me, but the desired outcome is something that should hold up to
scrutiny in the next Boost review.

We do not, of course. (And we need to address any such cases in
existing libraries that are shipping with the Boost distribution).
