I ignore them because:
1. I don't use phobos
2. They sometimes rely on compiler features that won't be available for 
another few weeks

On the other hand, I get tango from svn rather than the last release as 
a matter of course. And when using LDC, I update roughly once a week -- 
more often if I experience bugs.
