Because everything is derived from "object.d", so if we want to geting Phobos and Tango working together, we must do a hudge refactoring. But we have to do, because of Phobos and Tango will be larger and larger. And there is such a day, we must geting Phobos and Tango working together, it's be a very hard thing to do.

True, but a fundamental issue we are dealing with now is code written 
for one library cannot be used in an application with uses the other 
library. This is getting better as people are making their code work in 
both libraries. Personally, I dont care, but it can be a real pain in 
the ass, especially to people who are new to D.
