The only thing wrong with NNTP is that it isn't trend/hipster-compliant. 
We have better things to deal with than endless Fire and Motion:

Dub does need work. It's great for simpler projects and libs, but it's 
still next-to-useless for anything that JUST wants to participate in the 
package repository and uses a different build system (or even rdmd for 
that matter). There's some other issues as well. I've spent a lot of 
time and effort trying to fix that, but it's been an exhausting uphill 
battle, both technically and politically.
