Well, while that's definitely a problem, it really has nothing to do

Phobos, then the regression would have been caught by the autotester,
and the code that caused it would never have been merged - which is
one advantage to having something be in Phobos rather than on
code.dlang.org.

I believe it's a common practice in other languages to do something like
testing the compiler against top 20 (or more) most popular packages,
while I doubt this package would make it to top 20 (do we even have such
metrics from dub?), do you know if something like this is being done for
D too?
Yes http://code.dlang.org/api/packages/dump
