[phobos] next release suggestions..

I know I don't do a lot of direct bug fixing, but allow me to suggest that the next release focus heavily on fixing bugs
in bugzilla listed as regression, blocker, and critical.  There's a lot of them (not broken down by d1 vs d2 vs both here):

44 regression  (1 spec, 7 phobos, 1 optlink, 35 dmd)
13 blocker     (1 spec, 1 phobos, 2 oplink, 9 dmd)
49 critical    (6 phobos, 1 installer, 4 druntime, 38 dmd)

Of course, some of those are miscategorized.  Feel free to correct that.

I suggest we aim to fix at least 30 (just shy of 1/3) of them for the next release.

I also suggest that we get www.d-programming-language.org to the point of being _the_ d2 website, and change
www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/* to be a redirect to www.d-programming-language.org.  It might be essentially ready now, I
haven't poked around it all that much recently.  Ideally, it'd be both d 1 and 2, really.  From a quick look at it,
there's a key section missing: Developers.  A section for contributing to dmd/druntime/phobos.  I also don't see a
bugzilla link anywhere obvious.

Thoughts?

Later,
Brad
