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
