One is a compiler the other is a (optional!) library.
merging the two means forcing druntime onto people who want to
use dmd.
the seperation of the repositories is a good thing, since it
prompt people to think before breaking compatibilty with the
runtime.
Which _should_ not happen often anyhow!
druntime and dmd are seperate things.

Yes, try to implement features in non-breaking, non
runtime-dependent way.

I'd have to see the effects, to be definite about this, but
likely the answer is yes.
