No, we cannot just jump to anything that pops up on the 
newsgroup, b/c we would only be jump but no longer work on 
anything.
I've trying to put fixing the whole import system on the agenda 
for the past 2 releases, but didn't got much feedback.
Import issues are constantly breaking code (e.g. 
http://forum.dlang.org/post/mailman.3708.1453114739.22025.digitalmars-d-announce@puremagic.com) and cause such troubles during development.
I think it's time to dedicate a whole release to work on imports.
