What?! Good to know because it seems the friction between boost and its std counterparts (also with error_code, etc.) is steadily growing.

Knowing that, I'll have a much lower threshold for _not_ choosing boost when evaluating libraries.

instead of std::shared_ptr even though C++11 is 7 years old.

Boost needs to support (a.o.) VC7.1 till eternity (needs to run on WinXP), so this will stay this way forever... "We don't support VC7.1" or "Move on", is NOT an option in 2018 as far as Boost is concerned.
