Yep.  It's been gathering dust but for the occasional request to 
rebase the code.  A better scheduler can be added, but I think 
that should follow this pull request's addition to Phobos.  I 
don't want to block the infrastructure from acceptance because 
people have issues with a complicated scheduler that happened to 
be bundled with it.  Though as it is, one of the pull requests I 
created for Druntime for a Facebook request has sat for months, 
presumably because of a request regarding a documentation 
formatting change that I overlooked.  And I know I'm not alone.  
Robert's struggle with getting std.logger accepted is the stuff 
told to children around the campfire so they don't venture out 
into the dark.
