What about GDC and LDC after DMD becomes D?

I don't see an issue there. A compiler is a program that 
implements a standard, as long as it generates good asm it could 
be written in brainfuck there would be no reason to care.

A D compiler written in D is a symbol, and D was written so that 
D-programmers could stop writting so much C++ so the idea of a 
DMD written in D is appealing, but that doesn't mean that all D 
compilers have to be written in D.

The only question is "Do they copy DMD correctly?". There is no 
doubt that it is doable in C++.
