I know that you wanted to talk about easier maintenance. But what 
exactly is that D organization going to do ? Prevent people from 
making more packages and force them to work on theirs instead ?
No matter if there is an organization, there will always be 
unofficial packages going stale. You sound like it's going to be 
a magical solution.
