The new std.process by Lars Kyllingstad and Steven Schveighoffer 
has been accepted with a final count

18/0

On a related note, the voting broke of into several discussions 
related to how to bring proposed libraries into Phobos. 
Specifically the issue being that a Phobos module frozen to 
prevent breaking changes yet these are new modules not getting 
the most thorough testing before inclusion.

Several suggested solutions to this were made; exp/std.exp, 
warning the module is exp when importing, and a combination of 
both (place the module in exp without a warning, also place in 
std publicly importing and placing a warning).

I'm not here to change how things are done. It didn't seem there 
was a consensus, but the hybrid seemed to be fairly appealing.

For now I say we continue as before, and work toward this new 
approach.

Being relatively new to this community, what is the status quo for including new modules / rewrites of old modules? At some point in the next few days will std.process just become the new version?

In Git master, yes. And then it'll be part of the next official DMD release (2.063) whenever that comes out.
