  After three years of effort my project had finally put all (~1M sloc) of 1996 pre-standard legacy C++ to bed and started compiling most of our code in C++11 this year.  In large part, Boost was the tool that made that possible.  Because of Boost we were able to gradually move toward what would become the C++11 standard while hacking Boost code to work with our non-compliant compiler/std library…so that when we finally ported to g++4.8 and turned on C++11 it was just a handful of changes we had to make.  And now we’re successfully mixing plenty of C++11 with C++98 code in production use.
