The inclusion of etc in general has been considered a mistake. Since
they were added, dub has obviated any need to include such things in
Phobos. In fact there have been efforts to remove them from Phobos
(https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4283).
That being said, zlib is quite a static library. The others are actively
developed, and we shouldn't need to keep updating all our sources when
the external dependencies change.
