I know, had my own unpleasant encounters with enterprise world. 
But it is not the case in D reality with no LTS releases. 
Literally everyone is trying to use latest versions for new 
projects simply because too much stuff is added with every new 
version and using any old one is always personal risk.

That does not mean that package manager should not support 
compiler versioning - that was an answer to Jacobs question why 
library author should care about keeping it up to date with 
latest frontend.
