There is no Phobos roadmap at this point. It's all very adhoc at this point. 
There are plans for stuff to be replaced or added, and some if it is partway 
along, but for the most part at this point, something makes it into Phobos 
whenever it's ready. Most of what happens gets done because someone wants it to 
get done and takes the time to get it done. We're moving towards a more 
formalised review process, but even that depends on when someone has something 
ready for review.

We really should better document what's intended to be replaced and possibly 
even what we expect to have done soon, but for the most part at this point, what 
you see is what you get. If you pay attention to the D and Phobos newsgroups, 
then you have a better idea of what's coming, but even then, it's not entirely 
clear. There's definitely no roadmap though.
