It has, in length 
http://forum.dlang.org/post/mdnrus$188e$1@digitalmars.com, but 
you remain one of the very few to think it is a good idea to 
distribute vibe.d with dmd.

It doesn't make sense because dub is the enabling tool for the 
whole package ecosystem, with which vibe.d is fully integrated 
(dub was formerly called vpm - vibe package manager).
Copying a vibe.d version into the distribution creates a lot of 
problems without solving anything.

- what about vibe.d's dependencies
- how would dub know about the distributed vibe.d package
- how to use multiple vibe.d versions in parallel

If your long-term goal is to integrate vibe into phobos, fine,
though I'm not a fan of this strategy b/c an independent package 
ecosystem can grow faster.
Simply copying a dub package into the distribution doesn't help 
anyone.
