To serve the widest audience I think it is best when libraries use the lowest version of C++ which is practical, and only adopt new language features when doing so improves the public API or offers a significant benefit to the user experience. My PRs improve the public API and offer a significant benefit to the users. The rationale is thoroughly described in each of the pull requests.
Due to some backlash with this PR, mostly due to breaking changes. We should probably ease up and rethink what we are doing here. Boost thrives on consensus, and the discussions seem to be going in a negative direction, which should be addressed both in the PR and in this mailing list. I urge the parties to raise the issues the the PR: https://github.com/boostorg/spirit/pull/807 FWIW, my position is that I am all for modernizing and moving to C++23, but it should be done carefully and with consideration to users of Spirit X3 and Boost in general.
