IMO using an alternate standard library is out-of-scope of what I intended for the getting started guide. My feeling was that stuff like that belonged in the BBv2 docs. If the getting started guide is going to become a "build whatever weird-arsed configuration you may need" guide, I want that to be an explicit decision. So let's discuss it.

milestone Boost 1.34.1 → Boost 1.35.0

Moved to 1.35.0 as it's controversial. I am sympathetic with Dave's opinion.

I'm trying to clean up the documentation related tickets. Is it okay if I resolve this as 'wontfix'?

No, I'd prefer to have a chance to see if there's a good way to fit the option in before I make that determination.
