If I remember right Luigi took a look at boost random number and
concluded it was not an half-hour switch.
Beside it's not just matter of abandoning the QuantLib random number
framework, but also porting to the boost framework some generator
which is not available in boost (and which might remain in QuantLib or
could be contributed back to boost)
Anyway you're right that a further "boostification" of the QuantLib
library would be a plus. Not only random numbers, but also math and
stats come to my mind, and there's probably more
As usual any contribution in this direction would be welcome
