This is true, but my main concern is the quality of the compiler source.

My main concerns are: (not in order)
- Compile time
- Binary bloat
- Reduced scrutiny of code that is used in the compiler - I review every 
single compiler patch, but I do not have time to do that for phobos too
- The compiler must build with the last release, and with HEAD.  HEAD phobos 
only needs to build with HEAD.
- Some other things.

Anyway, there is no rush.  We will have plenty of time to talk about this 
after ddmd becomes dmd.
