Would you be willing to add it as a new feature to both D1 and D2?

I wonder how viable having one code base would be at that point? Would druntime be a good way to test that? Druntime would be a good guinea pig. I'd really hope a smooth transition for druntime would be enough to inspire more projects to support D1and D2 with a single code base.
