I agree, I am also surprised that 2.066 was released despite the 
regressions. I uncovered a few just by accidentally instructing 
someone on #d to build their project against git HEAD. Most of 
the regressions were found in his project's dub dependencies - 
libraries published on code.dlang.org.

I was thinking of trying to see if more projects on the dub 
registry failed to build with the 2.066 RC once the current round 
of regressions was resolved.

How is it decided when it's time to cut off a new release? Do we 
have two RCs and that's it?
