I'll try to reword a bit:

In case of an unexpected breaking change that would manifest 
itself only in the Phobos test suite and not in the BuildKite CI, 
and without "the rule", authors will be tempted to fix the 
problem in phobos in the same PR as the one initially only 
supposed to change DMD.

As special rule is required, then why put phobos in the main D 
repo ?
The fact that a special rule is required is a sign that a 
monorepo is a bad idea.
