I took a quick look at a few tickets:

https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9181 - not a bug, as it looks to me; 
left open just in case I'm wrong
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/9076 - also not a bug, closed
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8856 - fixed in develop by my recent 
pull request; can be closed when merged to master
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/8542 - looks like some offending macro 
in the Apple header, which also affects TypeTraits; should we try fixing it?
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6799 - I don't think this is a bug in 
DateTime or that there's anything can be done on it side; probably should be 
closed.
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5614 - not a bug, closed

I think there are quite a few tickets that are invalid or can be closed. It 
just needs time to look through them.
