Yes. I have given up about this idea at some point as there 
seemed to be consensus that no breaking changes will be even 
considered for D2 and those that come from fixing bugs are not 
worth the fuss. This is exactly why I was so shocked that Walter 
has even started this thread. If breaking changes are actually 
considered (rare or not), then it is absolutely critical to 
define the process for it and put link to its description to 
dlang.org front page.
