Some of these changes look pretty substantial - https://github.com/boostorg/mpi/commit/da602162b4b00e8e3134a991d0c836f10cfe0b9e for example, changes 54 files.

Are these the kind of changes we should be making on the day before a release?

On the other hand, if I just do "git diff master..develop --name-status” I see far fewer changes.

So I guess I’m confused.
