What is the need?  The very purpose of having druntime in the first place is 
to have Tango and Phobos share a common runtime.  If Tango is ported to 
druntime, then Phobos is *still* not compatible because Phobos 1 does not 
use it.

Tango's runtime is pretty much exactly like druntime anyways, since druntime 
is a port of Tango's runtime.

The only need I forsee is if the druntime 1.0 branch gets some enhancements 
that Tango needs to use.

Once Tango for D2 is finished (being worked on, albeit very slowly), then 
druntime comes into play.
