How long more MSVC6 is going to be actively used, do you think? Is there any
date/milestone since when we decide ignore non-supporting compilers for
specified features?

Well AFAIK it has never been required that Boost libraries support 'backwards' compilers. ISO/IEC 14882 compliant code would be acceptable. However, for usability, I agree that it is in everybody's best interest to support as many compilers as possible, which is what most Boost libraries do.
