No. This isn't about the idea of "@nogc" or "better C", Walter
did those on his own. It was about convincing Walter that enough
people found the current situation not very useful for a
particular type of programming. It was about having many
viewpoints of how the GC situation was keeping D back. It was a
very long and heated thread with many people commenting on what
they needed to make better use of D.
Changes in D come from significant _vocal_ end user pressure.
That is the historical trend. And that trend is very clear.
