It's so embarrassing ... tons of argument against the 
balkanization of the language, and every MAJOR adopter just build 
everything from scratch: Weka, Sociomantic ...

We have three different Variant and Algebraic implementation, 
with different interface, why? Why different interface? Why not 
trying to play with the others?
We have two CPUID implementation, why?
I/O? Dozen
Why core building blocks are duplicated?

The fear was the balkanization of the language, and we have the 
balkanization of everything else.

And 9il and Symmetry were really a whide delusion in having 
contributed to that: everyone alone! For what? Be free, as iLya 
wrote one time? To not wait, as wrote here above?

Bleah ... sacrificing the medium-term vision to just have a 
short-term solution.

Frankly speaking, a BIG KUDOS to everyone devoted maintain, 
improve and keep Phobos running: you all have my total 
appreciation.
