Will you really be still using D1 one year from now? Even then, 
why would you need official ongoing support from DigitalMars so 
much?

For some perspective: the move to GitHub was less than one year 
ago. I was actually surprised of this when I revisited D's 
history recently, since it felt like a lot longer. The relative 
amount of progress done in this year alone is staggering.

Sorry, but demanding that others spend their time to serve a 
minority when that time could be better spent to serve a majority 
seems rather selfish to me.
