People who don't want to use Boost are unlikely to use your fork, which, presumably, is supposed to be a part of Boost. Those people are probably using standalone Asio or something else entirely instead of Boost.Asio today anyway, and will continue to do so.
This is false. I regularly get requests from folks who want to use Beast with standalone Asio.
I suspect, what these people are actually asking is whether there is a standalone version of Beast that can be used with standalone Asio. Again, I doubt a fork of Asio in Boost will turn them into happy Boost users.
You seem to target an audience that wants to use Boost but specifically not Boost.System. It seems like a rather narrow audience.
I use std::error_code as a stand-in for the general desire for users to prefer std library components over their Boost equivalents.
It doesn't change my point.
