Is D 0.163 D 1.0?

As part of the answer.. I've setup a 'flag' in bugzilla called 
'd1.0blocker'.  If there's a bug you feel should be considered a blocker 
for 1.0, please set the '?' state.  Walter has been setup as the only 
person who can change the ? request to a + approved or - denied state.

I suggest that discussions for specific bugs and why they should or 
should not be blockers for 1.0 be taken to the .bugs newsgroup and not 
be part of this thread.

As to my opinion.  0.163 fixed one of the bigger outstanding issues, but 
I'd like to suggest that this release be given time to bake and that 
users be given some time to explore it for problems.  That will give you 
some time to work through some of the known bugs.

A gut feeling suggests that some time should be spent on linking and 
debugging related bugs.  Secondary to dmd and the 1.0ness of it, the 
docs have some gaps that have been pointed out (though not a whole lot 
of filed (thus trackable) about the website).  The abi is an example 
that comes to mind.

 From a functionality standpoint things are about ready, it's time for 
the weeks of polishing.

Later,
Brad
