If you depend on a library that causes a CI failure, you *are* using it
and are affected by it. You can stop using it and let others deal with
the problem, or you can be a helpful fellow maintainer and report the
problem upstream. Bonus points if you debug and propose a solution, e.g.
in the form of a PR. Of course, you don't have to, but if you're willing
to spend your free time on Boost anyway, this is a good way to do this,
as it benefits everyone, including you and your users.
