The Boost.Endian library was reviewed and conditionally accepted on November 3rd of this year.
See http://lists.boost.org/boost-announce/2011/11/0336.php for the review results.

Even if the acceptance was unconditional (which it was not; there are a couple of things that Beman needs to change first), that would have been too late for inclusion in the 1.48 release.

I'm hoping that it will be in the 1.49 release, though.
