Personally I don't have a problem with two different libraries that do
more or less the same thing getting used together. It happens a lot.
Suppose library X uses (for example) XML library A, and library Y uses
XML library B. A program wishing to use both X and Y ends up using,
indirectly, two different XML libraries. So what? The problem here is
that Phobos and Tango can't both (easily) be used in the same program.
Once that matter is fixed then the problem is solved as far as I can see.
