I see, thanks. So the change is not that dramatic. Nice!

What would be the nomenclature? Right now we have 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language with individual projects.

Is it possible for D-Programming-Language to be its own meta-repository 
so you clone git at github.com:D-Programming-Language? I guess not.

Then the meta-repository would be 
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang. Effectively we add 
dlang as another project parallel with dmd, druntime, etc. People could 
continue using the current workflow or hop on the dlang integrated 
tooling. Is that correct?

What's the criteria for including/not including stuff in 
D-Programming-Language to dlang?

Can tools in tools/ assume the dlang layout? Can they assume the 
existence of the meta-repo?

Is the "dlang" name sufficiently descriptive? Possible alternatives: 
"dev", "core", "essentials", "init", "bootstrap", "root"...
