I don't think office@ currently has enough manpower to maintain boost ports. I suggest we need to seek a new maintainer or form a group to maintain it. I am also interested in updating boost, but I don't think I can maintain it solely. I can help on porting, allocating resource to test, but I don't think I can fix all the issues during upgrading and exp-run myself alone. I hope the maintenance of the complex ports like this can be a team work. Is anyone interested in joining the effort? Best, Li-Wen
