The previous comment from @tfoote still applies: https://discourse.ros.org/t/std-shared-ptr-in-the-geometric-shapes-public-api/395/5

Changing from `boost` to `std` `shared_ptr` in e.g. ROS-M would require all consumers of that API to update their code. Each package needs to make that decision on its own. But for many "core" ROS packages that might simply not be feasible or desired. So this downside needs to be taken into account when considering such a change.
