Just a general comment from the perspective of a user
(that is a user of boost in general, not boost-gil specifically).
Part of declaring c++XX support deprecated should also be
listing the concrete compilers whose support you are
deprecating.
E.g. I think the first c++17 bits have been implemented in
gcc 6 and  gcc 7 had mostly complete support, but it took
till gcc 9 before the standard library gained support for pmr
and to_chars is - to the bestof my knowledge - still not
implemented for floating point types even in g++-10/11.

Best regards
