I don't think it should be necessary.  Because std2 only relies on plain 
D1 phobos, and D1 phobos is what Tangobos is supposed to replace.  So I 
think std2 should just ride fine on top of Tangobos like any other 
phobos-using code.

Put another way, the reason Tangobos has to exist is to paste over the 
low-level differences in phobos and tango.  So even inside Tangobos I 
suspect most of the modules are practically unchanged from the original 
phobos source.

As to whether it would be useful to have it be part of a standard 
Phobos/Tangobos install, I dunno.  Someone using those things regularly 
would be in a better position to answer that.
