If I take the liberty to sort your own sentences as below,
then it becomes a logical sequence that, I believe,
can help to see the benefit:

1. The proposal is not to drop 03 support - whatever that means.
2. I still don't see what benefit obtains though.
3. The proposal is to deprecate and remove a few older boost libraries

The 3. is the answer.

Whatever we call it, Boost surely will benefit from removal of the old
libraries,
where the term old happens to coincidence with C++03.

Best regards,
