In theory, having all of the C bindings sitting in Deimos is 
useful, because then they're all in one place, and you know that 
they're all C bindings, whereas code.dlang.org has all kinds of 
stuff, most of which aren't C bindings. But given how you 
basically have no control over the repo in Deimos even if you're 
effectively its maintainer, I'm inclined to think that it's not 
worth it, even if having all of those bindings in one place would 
be valuable. And the project needs to end up on code.dlang.org 
anyway so that dub projects can pull it in.

So, while I don't agree that there's no point to Deimos, I do 
agree that it's not worth it.
