This is not the first time that an MSVC release has conflicted with 
Boost's release schedule -- it seems likely that Microsoft's release 
date targets were chosen with similar logic to Boost's.

Would it make sense to permanently shift the Boost calendar target to 
reduce the risk of future such conflicts?
