Comment:

 Right now, I think this would work, and I'm open to making this change.
 But note that previously we switched from using MacPorts boost to using
 the internal boost because the developers of boost do not believe in
 backward compatibility, and an update of MacPorts boost caused mongodb to
 no longer build (#35118), and I'm virtually certain that a future version
 of boost will break mongodb again. But if and when that happens, we can go
 back to using the internal boost again.
