Personally I view continuing work with Tango as perpetuating the spirit 
of D.  I also have come to the viewpoint that Phobos is more or less the 
experimental library and that Tango is used for the more stable releases.

So Phobos is used to develop the language, and Tango is used to develop 
programs.

My $0.02, at least.  I haven't been here long (coming up on nine 
months), so my perception of the status quo is ever changing.
