You mean DerelictGL and friends? Yes, they are. DerelictOrg is the new 
Derelict. I'm steadily migrating the packages from Derelict3. Once I'm 
done, Derelict3 will be officially dead and deprecated. I'm going 
through with this because dub makes it feasible. I've never liked having 
each package all lumped in one repository.

I've never claimed that it is official! It is, and always has been, a 
side project for me. These days, I tend to rely on pull requests for a 
large part of the maintenance. But I make time for critical issues that 
pop up in the Derelict forum, or for things that strike my fancy. That 
word "official" scares me.

IIRC, it keeps everything in ~/.dub.
