Assuming that `guix refresh -l boost` is accurate, I think it would be
appropriate for the next staging cycle (or core-updates, if that comes
first).

If you need this for aegisub, perhaps you could add a boost-with-icu
package just for aegisub, and then remove it after the primary boost
package has been rebuilt with icu4c.

Please end the sentence with a period (I think `guix lint` will catch
this).

How about this (based on text from the home-page)?

"Aegisub is a tool for creating and modifying subtitles.  Aegisub makes
it quick and easy to time subtitles to audio, and features many powerful
tools for styling them, including a built-in real-time video preview."
