Some traitors left the development team. 50% bullshit FUD claims about the attribution clause and other shit talk wrt the complexity of package hierarchies were necessary to Boost (pun intended) the adoption of the horrible template abusing bloat library (see the big executable OMG! threads). A Phobos oriented book (again with no attribution to Tango development in D's history) was written to bash Tango. Now we are wondering how this all happened. Exciting times!
