Their focus is on allowing existing dub packages to continue to compile
without any effort whatsoever on the part of anyone using them, because the
breakage of dub packages over time as the language changes has become a
serious issue (that's the main reason that they started looking at doing
editions in the first place). Whether that's the right approach is certainly
debatable (and personally, I'd rather see something in dub take care of it
rather than require that new code slap editions stuff everywhere), but there
is a good reason for the approach that they're currently looking at taking.
