(Davis also supports this point)
To avoid confusion, let me point out that this was me (i.e., "David"), not Jonathan M. Davis.
Reason why I find this strange is because it invalidates main argument in favor of std.experimental over something like dub package - making it easier to wider user case to try the proposal and provide API feedback.
I think you got this precisely the wrong way round: Having something in Phobos makes it infinitely harder to meaningfully improve on a design, as the DMD release cycle takes the "rapid" out of "rapid iteration". Almost nobody builds DMD/druntime/Phobos from source in the grand scheme of things – pretty much only the core team and some of the forum regulars do.
