That's actually the reason I would think dlang.org should use
vibe. Those features are critical to the success and viability
of vibe. By making dlang.org dependent on vibe, those features
are much more likely to be flushed out and maintained at a high
standard.

I saw some discussion on that in the forums when I was searching
for info on why dlang.org doesn't use vibe. I personally like
that dlang uses ddoc, but I don't know too much about the
realistic pros and cons. I do like the concept though.
