Imho, current design where obsolete modules are moved from phobos 
to undead is a lot better. Just keep newest stuff in phobos and 
move old one in undead repo. Projects still relying on old  
functionality, can easily just import old module from undead 
project and continue using old functionality, until they move to 
newest one.
