This is a question for the VTK upstream, I'd guess. In my opinion, the answer is "yes". I think what is going on is that VTK is building its libraries incorporating code from Boost x.y.z. If a downstream code builds on VTK, then it should use the same version of Boost to avoid nasty surprises. Boost does not provide any ABI stability guarantees. Regards, -Steve
