i believe that Iain talked about frontend features. phobos is
still at 2.066, i think.

actually, any import deprecation messages may come only from
sloppy coding, like using "implicitly imported identifier from
3rd module". tbh, none of my code ever triggered such a warning
when DMD finally (almost) fixed it's import scheme. not 'cause i
am a brilliant, but 'cause doing it "D way" (local selective
imports in the closest scope) almost automatically prevents such
bugs.
