If one doesn't care about bugs in compiler, STL and IDE, and support for
later standards, why would one care to upgrade Boost at all?

I was quoting Steven T. Lavavej <https://nuwen.net/stl.html> (STL) and
Billy O'Neill, who both have leading roles in VC (and its STL) development.
The fact you saw it on reddit.com might have something to do with the fact
that STL is also one of the moderators of /r/cpp.
