While I can see the desirability of porting good D1 projects, from my 
point of view when Tango became popular the usability of D1 plummeted. 
Too many tools would only work either with or without Tango installed. 
And I kept having installation problems.

So I'm *not* looking forwards to seeing Tango in D2.  If this could be 
done without requiring phobos to be disabled, and without mangling it, 
then I would have many fewer problems with it, but as it is...Tango for 
D1 left a VERY bad taste in my mouth.  Very.  In fact it was one of the 
major reasons I switched to D2 while it was still quite flakey.
