No. The only part you may have had in ushering in @nogc is 
putting the idea out there (although I'm pretty sure Manu and 
Bearophile were advocating it long before that). @nogc was 
brought about because Johannes Pfau had the initiative to 
implement the framework for it and push it through. Otherwise we 
would still just be talking about it as a nice idea, and you 
would be bringing it up for the nth time with absolutely no 
benefit to anyone.
