To those more directly involved: Would I be wrong saying the
Phobos/Tango split never would have happened if D had a truly open
development process?  I know Sean wanting to experiment with different
GCs was one reason for it, but if Sean had been able to get access to
the official D runtime to begin with, I suspect he would have designed
his extensions in a way that was more compatible with the existing
code.  Let me know if I'm way off base there.
