Upgrading Boost does feel like a ServiceArch thing to me.
The 1.79.0 release feels pretty far behind, but boost is so huge and confederated that it's hard to scan release notes for critical issues. I think that we are going to get benefits here having to do with increased adaptation to new C++20 language features, which could unlock performance and usability benefits.
Upstream is on a 4 month release cadence.
The last one was about a month ago.
We're still using 1.79.0.

We could take this opportunity to convert the boost import to come through the mongodb-forks workflow as well, instead of scripts/boost_get_sources.sh. Then it can be done more smoothly in the future. We would then be able to use git to track and upstream any local modifications or take critical upstream cherry-picks.
