Exactly.

The const things should be merged, and yes, I know it is a lot of manual 
work for the maintainer. But if the list is to stay current and read, 
then this simply has to be done. Just as well as pruning out-dated 
entries, and generally going through it, mindfully tidying it up.

One might also wonder if this list actually enjoys the patronage of the 
D community to an extent sufficient to regularly post the results here. 
Some statistics might seem in order (as a manual one-time post, vs. an 
automatic, regular one) to convince the readership of the relevance of 
the list.
