Well, I am one of those who does not like Tango dependencies.

adding Tango stuff to Phobos as is - big no-no for me.
Rewriting a large part of existing, good and working code just
because of some political issue (or what it is) is a big, bit
no-no for _me_.
So I guess we can drop this discussion now. It's only running
in circles now.
And it is exactly why I offered help in rewriting some of those,
as someone more interested in improving Phobos. If all this
discussion is only about convincing to get some parts of Tango
into official distribution as-is - I doubt it will be going
anywhere and dropping is the right thing.
Also it is not exactly a political issue. Tango style and design
is considerably different from Phobos and mixing so different
stuff in one distribution is the road to PHP hell. Much worse
than any reimplementation (more like "refactoring" in practice)
efforts. Just my 5 cents.
