... in what universe did the Tango team ask for this? You'd think if the 
Tango team was behind it initially, tango would be net-installable via 
DSSS. And yet, it's not :P

PS: The reason Tango is not net-installable is because of my do-no-harm 
philosophy of net-installs. You should not install something, then find 
that your arbitrary project using Phobos fails for reasons mysterious to 
you.
