That's good to hear because it's always good to have options, but newer
versions just bring up the question of a "moving target". Just like how you
mentioned 1.54, if we're shooting for newer versions, then why not go with
that one, or 1.55 after it? The point of RHEL is a stable platform and
development environment and chasing the newest version of a library
(especially one as volatile as Boost) just doesn't seem to fit the RHEL
mentality.
