In order to move all the common boost libraries (like boost_filesystem) up to GCCcore we want to split that apart. But i think it was some uncertainty on how to handle Boost.MPI it kind of got stuck. https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/11695
I don't think I ever found any application that used it, so, it wasn't strongly motivated to be rushed in and we have nothing to test the setup on.
