Re:Dropping support for old C++ standards by LaLaLand122 on Wednesday March 08, 2023 @06:52AM (#35067909)
The customer

- "Wants" "stable", i.e. the default gcc

- Doesn't care what Boost version is used

- Pays the developer

The developer

- Wants the latest toolchain

- Wants the latest Boost

- Makes money

The developer

- Accepts using an old compiler because Boost keeps compatibility with it

- Does not pay Boost developers for it

There is no single entity that wants old compiler (other than to satisfy others) and new Boost.
