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

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.
Dicebot, if Jacob allows you to copy his design with a clean-room
implementation, I think this is a great way going forward.
