I understand this, and it's a pain to have to change code every release, but I don't think phobos is _anywhere near_ ready to stop breaking. The good news is that the pace of releases has slowed down so it's only every couple of months. > The worst part is there's still some new stuff I actually want each > month, so I'm not doing my usual strategy of never, ever, ever updating > software. > > It's just pain.

(or any other phobos module) How could this be made easier? I don't think the answer is keeping these (broken) modules in phobos.
