boost in sync with the current boost releases.

The package must also include a Requires: bundled(boost) = $VERSION
where $VERSION is the boost version being bundled.

While I appreciate the work Brett Lentz has been putting in upstream, why does
this package have to be taken away from me?

I'm already facing a "thanks for your work but no thanks"[1].

I respectfully request Uncle Shadowman *not* be forcefully made the owner of
the package, and the reporter of the review request be granted ownership.

Kind regards,

No need for this to be mutually exclusive, unless one (or both) of you are averse to being comaintainers?
