Why is there a hard dependency on the Boost version 1.68.0 from 2018?
We would like to use the library in Yocto LTS (scarthgap). Boost version 1.84.0 is maintained there. Integrating another outdated Boost version there just for this library does not make sense to us.
Would patches be accepted that remove the hard version check?
If so, what would be your preference on how to deal with incompatibilities between different versions?
