I do fully agree. For exactly this reason, I worked with Daniel to get 
DDMD built by LDC up and running the day after DConf instead of 
immediately going on my trip through Utah as originally planned. :)

Every time somebody adds/removes imports in Phobos or makes them 
function-local, it has a chance of causing breakage in client code 
because of the various holes in the module system. I've witnessed this 
with two releases in the Weka codebase now. With that observation, I was 
just trying to make the point that we should not shy away from fixing 
those issues due to fear of causing unforeseen regressions, because we 
are already doing so all the time.
