I agree, as, well, this is starting to look pretty grotesque...

The druntime/phobos 2.067 are breaking every piece of software 
out there that relies on core.sync or concurrency.scheduler, vibe 
and tango included.

I admit that breakages coming from phobos' changes are pretty 
different from a breakages coming from compiler changes, but we 
are talking about the runtime library also.

Oh well, who cares: my backlog of D code tasks at work is too 
long to start complaining... let's go back to the code...
