I am happy to learn why posting the announcement to reddit was a 
mistake. The reception was entirely positive and as Dicebot 
pointed out, having a formal process about language changes is a 
must-have criteria for many companies and thus a blocker for 
further adaption of D. On the contrary I think it was a wake-up 
call for people being frustrated with some deficits of D.
Moreover I am not sure why you keep misspelling my lastname. If 
eight letter are to difficult to memorize for you, you might want 
to stop complaining about deficit's of other people.

Did you take the time to look at the DIP before making your 
offenses?
Dietrich has already published D modules on Github which you 
would have seen if you be generally interested and not trolling.

As other people already have stated the DIP is not trivial and 
the only thing that was sub-optimal was it's announcement in News 
before being fleshed out, but to be fair Dietrich just followed 
the new DIP process protocol, which still needs fine-tuning in 
its details. However without motivated alpha warriors like 
Dietrich such fine-tuning can't happen, so you should be more 
thankful to him.

@Dietrich: Don't let yourself distract by trolls. Keep on 
improving your DIP and making it great & convincing!
