Major additions in the 1.0 series:
- string mixins, string imports in 1.005
- CTFE in 1.006
- CTFE changes in 1.007 and 1.014
- addition of the "ref" and "macro" keywords in 1.011
- struct/AA literals in 1.014
- array operations in 1.034

All of the above broke backwards compatibility with earlier 1.0 versions.

Many minor changes that could be argued as being more than just bug fixes:
- removal of === and !== in 1.005
- "final" changes in 1.011
- the infamous .init change in 1.017

All of the above broke code that compiled with earlier 1.0 versions.

The suggestion under discussion doesn't seem so bad to me, considering all that...
