Maybe this project was thought of as an operating system
where you just discontinue support and updates, but it turned
out that with open source and GitHub it is actually possible
with little effort to allow D1 users (and we have corporate
users there) to fix remaining bugs.
I'm far from a core DMD developer, so I don't understand your
dependence on Walter's full attention to D2. I'm just saying
it seems legit to me, to keep Don & Co. on board. I'd just
drop making D1 releases as a compromise.
