That was me obviously, and the reason is the same as for beta4 - 
keeping the history (and branch comparisons) clean by rebasing 
the 3 1.1-specific commits (reverts+backport) onto master (and 
getting rid of your 2 then redundant cherry-picks for beta5); 
there were are about 30 commits since beta5, and neither 
cherry-picking nor merging master made sense to me. I've had a 
discussion with Johan starting at 
https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/1862#issuecomment-263003598, your input there would have been more helpful than this forum post.
