At minimum, I think that we should avoid putting any more 3rd party dependencies in Phobos in the future.
I am not expert/qualified enough to discuss about all this, but having some "batteries included" in D is nice. I am using curl in D. I'd even like in the standard D distribution some mean to produce a little graphics on the screen, shared on all systems D compiles on (like the simplegraphics.d module).
