GCC 4.8 will add a handful of build failures to boost 1.49 based packages, but not the 89 you mention above. So this should be independent of each other, or be done at the same time. Now that GCC 4.8 has almost complete c++11 support, how many packages could even avoid using boost at all, or can be configured without using boost?
