Sure, little harm in header-only components of Boost (which increasingly more of Boost is not). Compiled portions can be justified (e.g., Spirit), but I think they must demonstrate measurable value beyond an author's desire for that feature. Basically, case-by-case like any 3rd-party code going into src/other that we are going to require going forward. Cheers!
