Anyone is free to use Tango in their own apps, just like they're free to use 
any 3rd party library. The problem is that Andrei doesn't want anything to be 
"official" unless it only depends on official stuff (I don't know how Walter feels 
about that). So, if Orbit is to be D's official package manager (and presumably 
be in the D-Programming-Language group on github), it can't depend on any 
libraries other than D's standard library and its own internal libraries.
