True, but that's not at all the point of the discussion.

Yeah, right. I put several days into reading the D 1.011 frontend code, 
spend another couple of days fixing some bugs only to download 1.012 
which contains some sort of modifications that break my bug fixes, 
because the original compiler author is not aware of them. I think this 
problem stops many people who would like to help with D (myself included).

Right now, the only way to contribute to the D frontend is to do a fork 
and work on that.
