Is this part true?

"All projects I mentioned [LDC, GDC] use the open-sourced reference 
front end to implement both D1 and D2, and trail behind the reference 
compiler by a few minor releases."

My impression from following the newsgroup was that no alternative 
compiler was even close to compiling D2. The LDC D2 status page says: 
"D2 support is a stub and very experimental. Anyone interested to 
improve it (or LDC in general) is highly welcome." The last News item on 
the GDC page is from 2007.
