Sorry, I forgot to address this part. I'm not one of the main tango or 
phobos people, but this is how I understand it:

The "core" parts of tango and phobos have already been merged into a common 
"druntime", which allows both tango and phobos to be used in the same 
program. But for some reason "druntime" is D2-only (I *think* the reason for 
this is that it requires breaking changes to phobos and Walter wants to keep 
D1 non-breaking-changes-only from here on out, but there might be more to it 
than that). The problem is, tango doesn't have official support for D2 yet, 
and it won't do that until D2 gets further along and stabilizes a bit ("It's 
a moving target").

So, the roadmap as I understand it:
1. D2 stabilizes
2. Tango officially supports D2

Then D2's druntime will become useful, allowing phobos and tango to be used 
together.
