Yeah, another Phobos/Tango (or whatever it may be) split is probably
going to be the thing that finally kills off D before it ever reaches
widespread adoption. Please, let's not go there.

Here's another approach. If you feel something is wrong with Phobos and
your pulls aren't getting accepted for whatever reason, why not package
it up nicely in a form that's easily installable by users, and publish
it? Say you have a replacement for std.json that you feel is far
superior, well, then make it installable as a standalone library (say
alt.json), and promote it here and get many people to start to use it.
Once it's widely-used, I suspect it will be far easier to convince
people to put it into Phobos. :-)
