There should be a common sense after all. Adding 7K files from boost doesn't comply with a common sense. no matter what Arjen thinks about it. If oqgraph cannot do without boost in the MariaDB development tree we'd better drop oqgraph.
It's not much in size, it's numbers of files that you're concerned about - and I fully share your concern.

But independent of that, I think boost as an external dependency should be fine. At least until there will be an indication that it's not.
