It has never worked that way with D development process and I 
don't see it happening without any major structural changes. 
Pretty much everything that does not come from Walter or Andrei 
is decentralized anarchy-driven development - you do something, 
show it to community, see results.

All these questions are nonsense crap without someone actually 
willing to do the work. Such attitude may insult professionals 
but there are no hired professionals working here.
