All 3 compilers.  The version will be frozen for the next 6 
months, but that just means a 2 to 3 releases support period, so 
it's not an issue IMO.

There are still some small issues to iron out, and there's still 
no support for LTO out of the box (although one can compile it), 
but we've been using it for ~8 months and it works quite well. 
Also some of those issues are Musl specific and not related to 
Dlang, e.g.

Looking at it, all the "What's next?" have been done too :)
