I'm not sure that it's closed. Things generally cannot be removed from 
D1 phobos. And as long as D2 Phobos is in flux, porting D2 to D1 would 
be a problem -- D1 has to be stable, it can't have something added to it 
which is an unstable work-in-progress. The question of whether a stable 
part of Phobos D2 could be backported to Phobos1 is I think still open.
