Though the site at http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango gives no indication of that and still evangelizes migration from Phobos to Tango.

An odd thing about it is that one might mistake it for a companion site to Andrei's book, having the same name and the front page devoted to it. Is this intentional? Perhaps the plan is to host the book, in a read-it-free-online-or-buy-the-book scheme, like the amazing Real World Haskell<http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/why-functional-programming-why-haskell.html>?

Is the content of digitalmars.com/d now frozen; is the intention to replace it with a redirect once content is migrated?
