Eh, std libs is where you lose me. I don't mind offering a "just 
works" dmd download on my website, with my packaging dmd for some 
particular purposes, or on the official site, that includes all 
the stuff. But I have no interest in being part of Phobos and 
losing control of my projects.

Now, I think Phobos should be open to those things, where the 
modules are owned by third parties and just packaged as a 
standard library. The phobos devs might fork it or whatever, of 
course, but this would be more like a Linux distribution than a 
corporate merger - the individual packages in a Linux distro are 
still owned by outside parties, and the distro maintainers just 
bring them in and might slightly modify them to fit their thing 
better.

 From the user side, it looks like a traditional std lib, but from 
the developer side, it is more of a bazaar than a cathedral.
