Phobo's migration

[Joerg Joergonson via Digitalmars-d]

How bout Freezing Phobos, except for bugs and start migrating it 
to Phobos 2.0?. This way a proper library can be built that 
doesn't feel like a lot of stuff thrown together 
haphazardly(think .NET).

This will be migrating Phobos over to use the new 
constructs(nogc, safe, etc), remove the crust and just polish 
things up. It could be added to the release and used "import p = 
Phobos2;"

By the time it's finished D3 will be around and it could be used 
for it. A committee can formed to decide what to include and to 
design the structure of the library. Anyone can submit code.

This allows a clean break but and to learn, but not be shackled 
by the past.  It could go rather fast(months rather than years) 
since most of the code is already written, it just needs to be 
migrated properly(might might not require anything but copy and 
paste for large amounts of code).

I know some people like to keep their old rusty cars on their 
front lawns but it only tells everybody that they are stuck in 
the past.
