What I am saying is that unless you read every line of all the 
libraries that you want to use and de-compile every precompiled 
library and read the asm, you are taking a risk, any of that code 
could do malicious things. You draw a line.

The whole point of the thing is to get the benefits of a large 
library without having a bloated standard lib. Obviously none of 
phobos would depend on anything in dub. But users need things out 
side of phobos, why would we want to make getting that harder?
