Well at the D con last year (which was almost a year ago), Walter and the 
Tango team decided that the two libraries could coexist, as long as they had 
a common runtime, or something along those lines.  After the con, Walter 
made a few changes to the Phobos runtime and, ... well, nothing since then. 
D2 has been the all-encompassing focus of Walter's efforts since about the 
same time.

Sad, since this is _really_ an issue that needs to be addressed.  No, I take 
that back: this should have been addressed _ages ago_.
