wouldn't this prevent breaking changes from being allowed in a 
newer version of phobos?

by using phobos versioning, you're free of that constraint, and 
people can opt in or not to a particular version of phobos.

of course, then you have the problem of 'std' forever being some 
version.. from long..long..long ago...

is this what they call 'a hard problem' ;-)
