I find this condition is too strict. You basically say that you'd rather not 
see the proposed Boost.JSON enter Boost until CBOR is implemented, which may 
happen six months from now. So people who don't have a need for CBOR will 
have to wait until Boost 1.77, which doesn't really help anyone.

I can understand requiring a firm commitment on the part of the authors to 
add CBOR support, but postponing the acceptance until this is implemented...
