I'm no longer a very active contributor (or user :/), so not sure I'm the right person to judge this. Reducing boost package size is a nice thing to do, but I'm not going to do the necessary work of building all (or at least a significant subset of) boost reverse dependencies to check if the approach above works, or if more changes are necessary. I guess someone can always pick up the patch again when they feel the need for a smaller boost package. Thomas
