I'll be the first to agree that Phobos should be separated from 
the compiler releases, but not entirely. I wish the std lib could 
be separated into an "essential component" and a "non-essential 
component" so that a partial decoupling could be achieved, that 
way the essential component could be directly locked into 
successive compiler releases, while leaving out the non-essential 
as a separate add-on package following it's own course of 
development.

But IMO we're straying off-topic because what we really need to 
do first, is fire up a wiki page to write down and agree on (as 
best as we can) what we want to achieve (a list of goals), and 
only after that can we continue on deciding what process will 
meet all of the agreed on goals.

Anyone proficient in wiki pages want to create a new page for 
defining the goals?
