How about giving these up to Tango? The only problem is, it has not
been ported to D2 yet.
That's not an option.

That's an *awesome* option! These are big complex tasks. A lot of internal
redisign, breaking changes etc will follow alongside with bugfixes. Phobos
can't afford something like this.
Besides they are and not crucial part of language, and I believe should be done
as a third-party library. Most importantly, Tango has already implemented all
of the above.
It is an important task not only to allow Tango and Phobos coexist, but make
them fit together.
