My concern about this is more along the lines of: when will D2 versions
of LDC and/or GDC be available?

To an extent I'm not sure I understand why, with two great backends
available, D2 development did not switch over entirely to one or the
other of these -- though I understand the fact that the DMD backend is
probably the one the Digital Mars developers are most comfortable with.
