Agree. Or we won't ever have a dependable ecosystem. Please 
provide guarantees.
Success of D is success of building upon the ecosystem of 
libraries.

Something that people must consider to avoid too much major 
version tags is:
- delay breaking changes and pack the breaking change at once
- **have a small (and agreeable) public API surface**, use 
private and package identifier that are allowed to change spec
- provide a changelog to go from a major to another major tag, no 
one want to read your git commits
- a system of option using `version` identifier to make something 
similar to DMDFE's -preview. Configuration to gain compat at the 
expense of simplicity (option count can grow wildly).
