I don't really see that.  Yes, new functionality _per se_ is not going to break 
anything, but its implementation may be affected by breaking changes to D.  So, 
if you want to bring something new to Phobos, you may have to write 2 variants 
(for stable and dev) or else put up with your new functionality being excluded 
from stable until the breaking changes to D are merged in.
