Hi,
The ldc package just got upgraded to 1.12.0 on Fedora Rawhide which
caused me to look at the package information. I wonder if there ought
to be an update to this since LDC really isn't beta any more, and there
are people working on non x86_64 platforms. i.e. I think the blurb
needs to be far less defensive now: the defensiveness of the blurb
could be a turn off to people reading it.

Description : LDC is a compiler for the D programming Language. It is based on the latest DMD

: high quality code generation. LDC is released under a BSD license with
: exceptions for the DMD frontend and code from GDC.
: The development takes place mostly on x86-32 and x86-64 Linux and that is where
: LDC works best. Support for other platforms and architectures is under
: development, but we are still looking for people to help test and adjust LDC
: for those platforms!
: LDC already compiles a lot of D code, but should still be considered beta
: quality. Take a look at the tickets to get a better impression on what still
: needs to be implemented.
