Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:5 ryandesign]:
 > But each port needs to be tested with each new version of boost to
 verify that it still builds. That's much easier to do on a case by case
 basis with separate versioned boost ports. It was enough of a problem that
 the significant effort to create versioned boost ports and the boost
 portgroup was undertaken.

 Agree with Ryan here. Especially given that specifically Boost 1.87+ had
 breaking changes in APIs, and it is nowhere guaranteed it gonna work. I am
 pretty sure a lot of older ports gonna break down, unless set to 1.76
 explicitly.
