Comments like this make me nervous. :) How much of the stdlib do you think needs replacement? Which if any modules should be considered stable? Can D2 users expect that the stdlib in a year's time will look anything like it does now? Is there a formal development plan? I appreciate that D2 and its Phobos are works in progress. But I would hope that a statement like "std.stream needs replacement," coming from a core developer, would be followed up with either a replacement plan or a rationale and a call-to-arms. Noblesse oblige! Perhaps the D2 stdlib documentation should remind prominently that the stdlib isn't actually standardized yet, and that it should be treated as an experimental library. Best, Graham
