Has there been more back-channel chatter?
  

Some. Enough to know that although there wouldn't be legal issues, I don't think we should take things just because we can. It's unnecessarily provocational.

Now, if std.gregorian is technically better rather than just different, 
then I have no objections going that direction anyway.

My 2 cents,

Subject: [phobos] std.gregorian

Although I do not believe that SHOO's work on the date/time is legally
infringing on Tango's time code, I feel there's been enough bad feeling about
this and that we should not include Tango's time api design in Phobos.

I apologize to SHOO for this. I know this is unfair to him.

Andrei has given a start to std.gregorian, perhaps SHOO's implementation work
can be transferred to this to help complete it?
