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.
That's size too
janus pts/1 ~ % ll /usr/portage/distfiles/boost* -h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage 4.5K Sep 1 2008 /usr/portage/distfiles/boost-patches-1.35.0-3.tbz2

-rw-rw-r-- 1 portage portage 23M Mar 29 2008 /usr/portage/distfiles/boost_1_35_0.tar.bz2
janus pts/1 ~ % equery size boost-1.35
[ Searching for packages matching boost-1.35... ]
* size of dev-libs/boost-1.35.0-r5

Total size : 94270.54 KiB
* size of dev-util/boost-build-1.35.0-r2
Total files : 134

that's 23M in bzipped sources and 94M when installed.
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.
