Hey Iain!
I love your summary and plans (can you do this more often? ^^), 
and just wanted to say kudos for the work you do on this! As far 
as the Linux world is concerned, getting GDC into GCC and keeping 
it well-integrated and up-to-date it is a major thing to get D 
established as first-class supported language.
Having that D binding generator will be even more useful for 
integrating D with existing, bigger codebases written in C or C++.
Keep up the great work! (And I'll get that dub package rebuilt 
against GDC 10.1 in Debian ASAP ^^)
Cheers,
     Matthias

P.S: As a distribution developer, I would love LDC and GDC to be 
ABI-compatible, so we wouldn't have to choose a global default... 
But that's probably an unlikely thing to change anytime soon.
