I suspect with time Deimos will be completely superseeded by
"dub" or whatever tool becomes standard package manager for D.
However, it should not be simply discarded because:
1) right now dub is not an official dlang.org project, but Deimos
is
2) it is a certain brand name which gives promises about
aggregated bindings - all Deimos bindings are thin 1-to-1
reflections of their C origin.
In that sense, I would have expected Deimos become part of dub
registry at some point, preferrably as a separate package
category. But they should not loose identity of Deimos project.
