Regardless I think reducing dependencies is the important for
inclusion
of any new component into the "D core".
In general I think that the D community should embrace all
developers/contributors and existing libraries.
Not talking about your stuff in particular but in general -
hell no. There is a line between accepting everything just
because we can't lose the chance (hence current std.xml,
std.json and other crappy stuff) and accepting decent stuff
that was specifically following current Phobos idoms, was
reviewed, etc. The latter puts quite a strain on the
contributor and in the end should guarantee the quality of
addition (and commitment to maintain it).
That being said once package manager is there tested and solid
3-rd party libs will flow. (tested & solid simply because of
greater exposure factor)
It cannot afford to
loose contributions for petty things like this.
I'd say if contributor can't be bothered to follow conventions
and deal with the constraints imposed, just let him go.
Coherency is all important in the core part of pretty much
anything.
When is D going to officially release with official third party
libraries? Like synchronized with the release of dmd and bundled
together in a huge (as large as possible) compressed file. Like
Derelict, Gtkd, Qtd, Vibe, Apache Thrift. I mean not included in
phobos but included in the release.
