Should we think about retiring and removing libraries for some of these? For example: foreach and tuple should have been replaced C++11 and scope replaces scope_exit.
Unless a library is entirely non-functional, I don't see how removing it would help anyone. It would break its users, it wouldn't release any Boost maintainers (since the library is unmaintained). Some of these seemingly obsolete libraries offer unique features or provide support for older C++ versions.
