Given the amount of headaches that Boost seems to give us all, now thanks to the recent changes even more because Gentoo's boost is different from all others and no upstream default check seem to work correctly with it, I'm questioning the usefulness of having it slotted.
Among other things, with each GCC/GLIBC update all but a handful of slots are kept working; in this case I think most if not all <1.50 are broken. So given that it's a PITA for the maintainers, a PITA for the users, eselect boost has been shown to be a bad idea and so on ... can we just go back to just install it and that's about it?
