Maybe the time has come to discuss that. Should we make dub the
official package manager for D?

I asked Sönke about this back when dub was called VPM (so a lot
of the answer is out of date now). His reply:

It'd be nice if he could update with what he thinks is left
before it'd be ready to be the official package manager. I've
hit a bug here or there in my own usage of dub but overall I find
it to be very good (and Sönke usually fixes things I've hit in
less than a day). There is a potential package format switch to
Simple Declarative Language that should probably come before dub
is official and some general final polishing but overall it feels
really close to being ready to me.
