    initial v1  
    1 Changing the version of boost the old port provides requires testing every port using it, which is a herculean task no one really wants to take on. The approach taken is that with the new isolated boost ports, and the new boost PG to help configure ports to use the isolated builds. This way ports can be migrated to one of the boost versions currently offered, 1.69 1.71 or 1.76. If there is a pressing reason for more versions they of course could be added.
