If you have a considerably better proposal for std.signals or know of one and are willing to champion in it, then you should try and get into it Phobos as a replacement. If the current std.signals is good enough that that's unnecessary of course, but if there's a proposal that's considerably better, then we should at least look at it. - Jonathan M Davis
