You cannot link against diamond dependencies of different 
versions though, so we'd have to exclude it from libphobos and 
put it separately.

Not sure why inclusion in distribution is often mentioned as such 
a thing.
It's trivial and common to have separate libraries/dependencies 
in every language with a healthy ecosystem.
