This attitude is crap and is becoming more frequent on the forums.

The D development team is not interested in listening to their 
user base unless the user base is willing to contribute back to D 
language development with PRs.

Good luck with that because most end-users will not bother even 
trying to file a bug report, let alone distill it down with some 
tool in the compiler download. They'll just move on in another 
language that doesn't require effort fighting compiler/language 
bugs.
