Comment (by eschnett):
Is there a reason to switch to OpenMPI? If MPICH works fine, then let's stick with it for the release. Everything is open again one or two weeks from now.
Regarding Boost: I don't think we need to add such a comment. If people want Boost, then they'll figure out that they either have to install it or to build it themselves (maybe via Cactus). Also, Boost 1.50 is quite outdated; Boost 1.58 is current, and with two releases per year this makes it four years old. I expect many packages to simply not work with Boost 1.50.
We are very shortly before a release. Now is not the time to clean up things. Now is the time to test things, and to fix important things that can't be worked around.
