Comment (by mascguy):

 Replying to [comment:4 artkiver]:
 I am looking into it as a dependency for graphics/usd (which is installing
 boost176) and noticed that it seems as if boost is in a similar state to
 Python, with a gazillion versions.

 Yep, we pruned the number of versions back to four, over the past four
 months. (Simply because it was becoming burdensome to maintain them all.)

 So we'll add a new one eventually. But they're released so often, that
 it's pointless to keep creating - and supporting - each new release.
