How on earth has it been providing shared libraries for any D packages when we only just started supporting shared libraries with the most recent release? Any shared library prior to now would definitely have been buggy, and even now, it's highly experimental. No one who wants a low chance of bugs should be using shared libraries in D yet, let alone for the last 2 years.

An alternative method is to use git submodules and let the people who wish to maintain bindings to have it as a submodule of a deimos repo.

That way they are linked in nice forms from a central location.
