We have map files to limit what symbols are exported, so we should be ok
to use boost in the headers without accidentally changing the ABI
depending on what boost gets used, or when boost gets updated, modified.
So I can't think of a particular reason against it.

Was there a policy against using boost in sal/cppu/etc ?
