I don't think it will make it in Phobos. At least not for a long 
time. It will first need to be proven and show a strong use in 
the community/world.

As said, it is a massive undertaking so people are skeptical and 
I like the point made that it will require collaboration from 
many knowledge areas.

Linux was mentioned. Just remember Linus is just building an OS 
for fun, trying to see if he can mimic Unix on his system. He 
doesn't have any interest in supporting hardware non-SCSI (or 
something like that) since he doesn't have a machine with that 
hardware. The fact that others are providing support for those 
things and he is merging them in is irrelevant.

I like DWT, but it is a lot to learn. I've been using DFL and 
wish to switch to DWT but re-writing my simple GUI isn't a 
priority. DWT could use a D face, but I'm ok with examples 
compiling with little change.
