the boost asio dismissal doesn't seem warranted, not everyone cares about how large a library is as long as it gets the job done.

especially since asio is not the only useful library of boost and people comfortable with boost are also finding other handy libraries at hand. additionally asio takes care of much more than what author is focusing on. Therefore is the dismissal because of the size for sure not warranted.
