On the other hand, if this is really fast moving and with 
breaking changes, one might as well keep it in the DUB registry 
so that people:
- are able to rely on a particular version and have their code 
breaking only when they want.
- get faster updates instead of waiting for Phobos releases.

Is it really fast moving when you have to wait for compiler 
releases? I don't think so.

I also believe there is a positive correlation between "being 
popular on code.dlang.org" and "being useful and with a promising 
design".
