While I agree in general, the problem is that DUB has a dedicated 
forum "far away" from this forum. Sometimes, when people have a 
question, they don't know where to post it. Here or on the 
dedicated D forum run by Sönke. Now that DUB has become part of 
"official D", wouldn't it make sense to tie it in a bit better? 
Also, DUB questions are more frequent than GDC or LDC questions 
(not to mention DWT).
