The claim never was that having phobos in the same repo makes the 
problem go away. In fact there is no such claim. However, it was 
claimed that using separate repos prevent this types of issues, 
which is a self detonating claim.

While I was already a D user back then, I wasn't involved in the 
way I am now, so I do not have this much background. However, it 
is relatively obvious that a language ending up with 2 standard 
library is the byproduct of some severe problem and I would be 
very surprised if the explaination was as simple as a repository 
organisation question. In fact, if I had to bet, I would bet 
against this hypothesis even without the full knwoledge of the 
background.
