+1.

Also, since Boost 1.67 or so we disabled the Boost.Config outdated
diagnostic for unknown new versions of MSVC:
https://github.com/boostorg/config/commit/5ad0730630188b55e2ee554dec53b5498fc0a030

i.e. No more "Boost.Config is older than your compiler version" messages.

And I doubt users are turning on BOOST_ASSERT_CONFIG for the #error.
