Jumping into the discussion, but endian comes to mind. Currently it 
depends on type_traits, config, core and static_assert. All these 
dependencies are required for C++03 compilation, or to support outdated 
compilers. None of this should be necessary with a modern (ie, with 
proper C++11 support) toolchain.

Independant modules also means that you can mix boost versions (of 
course, at your own risks). I'm glad i can just copy/paste MP11 headers 
to backport them and use them in a project which requires to stay with 
boost filesystem 1.61 for binary compatibility.
