Well the fact that we have a public review and can criticize the 
proposal is as much as you can get from a peer reviewed process. 
If you have valid and important arguments they won't just get 
ignored.
In fact [DIP74](http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP74) faced a lot of 
criticism for not properly addressing escape checking first, 
that's one of the main reasons why we have DIP1000 now.
The overall goal is also clear and has been stated 
([Vision/2016H2 - D 
Wiki](https://wiki.dlang.org/Vision/2016H2#H2_2016_Priorities)), 
we want memory safe code w/o the GC.
