Which is a good thing. Why would you use an umaintained library? There
is no such thing as a perfect library that has all of its bugs fixed.
No maintenance => dead project.

Those who wish to represent themselves should represent themselves.
You want to represent the D clients who:

- Won't file bugs
- Won't disclose their names
- Won't disclose that they're using D
- Won't contribute to D

Exactly what makes them a worthwhile client to keep? Is it just in
order to be able to privately brag about client X using your
technology Z? I really don't understand how D "wins" with these ghost
clients that do not represent themselves.
