I Phobos should follow OpenGL in this regard and use a prefix like `etc` for useful but not finalized modules, so early adapters can try out new modules compare them with any existing API in Phobos where applicable (e.g. streams, json, ...) and report any issues.

That has been suggested before and the counter argument is that people will start using and complain when it's changed, even if it's in an experimental. Someone here said that the javax. packages originally was experimental packages to they continued to live in the javax namespace to avoid breaking changes.
