The history lesson is nice, and may be academic. Currently, Boost is a
collection of useful C++ libraries which need maintenance, and we do not
have control over which new libraries are proposed. The collection comes
with implied support over time. With Boost's large number of mostly-silent
users, the only relevant "mission" is to maximize the value delivered to
those users. How we accomplish that is worth its own discussion.

Thanks
