No, every library will be free to remove C++03 support starting with 1.83 (under the assumption that we declare 1.82 as the last Boost release supporting C++03.)
The Boost Safe Numerics Library requires C++14 or above and always has. I'm not aware that this violates any Boost policy.
Boost.X can remove the support for C++03 in 1.83, without going through the deprecation procedure.
I'm not aware that removing support for C++03 is "deprecation" nor that doing such a thing would require any sort of "deprecation procedure". That is not to say that it would nice for a maintainer to give some notice - but I'm not aware of any requirement.
