What do you think about following compromise:
1) C bindings are defined in spec to be optional
2) They are still kept in druntime repo but declared an

3) C bindings are defined to be mandatory in Phobos - if
Phobos is used with druntime that does not provide C bindings,
it must expose ones of its own.
It effectively keeps existing layout but moves from a
specification to implementation detail making binding-free
druntime 100% legal D implementation.
By "C bindings" do you really mean "C/C++ bindings" given the
context of this thread?
Yeah, "any external / OS bindings" is probably more appropriate
wording.
