Ideally it should come before other new features. I mean, the more stuff 
we put in there the more mess it will be. The point of the refactoring 
is of course to make it easier to add new features and to understand the 
code.

I'm not really sure about the road map. I'm currently focusing on Orbit, 
the package manager I'm developing. Also the main goal of DVM is already 
done. Hopefully I can squeeze in some time to work on DVM before the 
first release of Orbit.

About the refactoring, what to you think about these:

* Move to git
* Move to github
* Port to D2, still using Tango
