Okay.

Compared to just featuring the code on dub repository:
a) Release cycle tied to dmd
b) All changes must be reviewed
c) Changes got to be small enough to not require long review

Thus overhauls of internals are not going to be easily deliverable,
nor bug-fixes can be got out of band with D distribution.

If anything I'd love to see more 3-rd party stuff that is easily 
installable.
