 From my email dated 2015/05/31 entitled "Make dformat and dfix part of

I have followed that with several attempts to push things forward with 
dfix, last on 2016/03/03, with various major contributors. There was no 
blocker, but also no finalization.

We have made tools "official" in the past. Some we've put in our github 
(e.g. VisualD). As far as I can tell that did nothing to accelerate work 
on them. But I'd be hasty to generalize from that and would be willing 
to try it again.
