Research direction

Start by checking the linked Boost library, boostdep, cmake, and boost-ci PRs and whether their changes have propagated to master. Confirm that all listed references are gone before following the proposed release-note and three-release sequence; completion is the submodule removal after that waiting period.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Since Boost.StaticAssert has been merged into Boost.Config, this submodule can be removed once all Boost libraries have removed references to it. For tracking purposes, here is the list of the relevant PRs:

Once these PRs are merged and propagate to master, I propose to add a release note for the next Boost release to notify users that the submodule is deprecated and will soon be removed. Then, after 3 Boost releases, actually remove the submodule.
