maybe 'cause people willing to fix the things that annoys them, not the 
things someone says they should fix? those "small changes" annoys people 
enough to do something, and they are relatively easy. not everybody has 
enough time and/or motivation to work on big changes (especially if they 
don't even use that things often enough).

i, for example, happily spent two days restoring `typedef` feature in DMD 
and GDC, 'cause i really want it, and `Typedef!` suxalot. yet i can't 
care less about `RefCounted`, so i don't even want to start working on 
it. same for most other things from "vision doc".
