Not OP but - Boost is a large library that can be tricky to extract only the portions you want from, leading to instances where you compile a lot of unwanted code, leading to ballooning compile times in exchange for only a little bit of extra functionality that you want. In my experience boost typically ends up being all or nothing, and very hard to remove once integrated.
