In addition the the deadline issues already mentioned and resolved, I 
did misunderstand the review process somewhat.  I didn't participate in 
the reviews for std.datetime (because I know nothing about what makes a 
good date/time lib) or for std.unittest (because I was fairly ambivalent 
about it), so I didn't learn anything from them.  I was under the 
impression that the module is **expected** to be very close to its final 
form and that, if a lot of issues are found, then that basically means 
the proposal is going to be rejected.
