Yes, and I'm still against it.  It's not about the circular dependency (that 
already exists with druntime and is manageable) it's that including phobos 
effectively massively increases the size of the dmd codebase.  Phobos is 
also tied to the release cycles in a different way than it looks like ddmd 
will be.  Druntime is much smaller and much less worrying (and impossible to 
avoid).
