The second part is an argument against circular dependencies

I'm not sure how that translates to "never use phobos".
It translates to the same thing for any major project as it does
for the compiler. If phobos isn't stable enough for the compiler,
then it isn't stable enough for any major project.
All we need is a stable release, lock the compiler development to
that release (add a conditional check for it). For archival
purposes all that is needed is to ensure that the executable
image of this stable release can be run in an x86 emulator.
