I looked into how these obsolete libraries are used by other Boost
libraries, and they cannot be simply removed. It would be a non-trivial
endeavor for related libraries to stop depending on, say, Boost.Move.
Unless the library is no longer depended on, it has to stay in the release
regardless of opinions for or against removal.

Therefore the more important question becomes: what level of effort should
be invested in removing the dependence on obsolete libraries from the
non-obsolete Boost libraries which use them?

Thanks
