Have the forums become so toxic that we can no longer use them for what
they're supposed to be used for -- to discuss exactly these sorts of
things??

Didn't Andrei say recently that these two should be merged into one?
The Phobos/druntime divide is an artifact of the historical Phobos vs.
Tango spat, and really shouldn't be that way.  Phobos should be made
(much, much) more pay-as-you-go, and druntime should be a subset of it,
not a separate thing from which it's taboo to import Phobos.
