Can't we but those recipes (and associated patches) in obsolete/boost/? 
That way it will be outside of the default BBPATH and within reach for

I'm not a big fan deletionist behaviour since we can't tell if people 
are relying on it since not everyone keeps their stuff in OE[1].

Also: what happened to removal.txt?

[1] OTOH, keeping their stuff out of OE is their own choice, with the 
associated troubles, much like external kernel modules and mainline
