Yes for marking old libraries as obsolete, as it does not convey a "might
be removed" tag.

No for marking as deprecated for this reason.

Yes for hiding obsolete libraries by default.

Strong no for ever even thinking of removing a Boost library from 1.x.

Strong no for marking as obsolete libraries which are using obsolete
libraries in the implementation. This one would force me to drop parts of
MSM which might be used in production code and I strongly oppose the idea.
