Toshio, I totally understand your points. We are well aware of all of those
disadvantages of bundling/forking that you mentioned, but given our
circumstances we decided that bundling/forking Boost is the best solution,
despite all the aforementioned disadvantages. We made this decision a year ago,
and to date we still think that it's the right decision.

Regarding responsibility: what I meant is that we take security very seriously,
and that we will do our best to address any security problems, including those
in Boost, as opposed to neglecting Boost security issues and happily keeping on
vendoring the old, insecure version. We treat any problems in Boost as if they
are problems in our own code. Is this explanation sufficient for you? If not,
what are your concerns?
