I close BIP27. I won't be pursuing BIPs anymore

[Dicebot via Digitalmars-d]

Listen, I understand you are not interested in spending loads of 
time on boring polishing of formalities. We all do this in our 
spare time so that is to be expected.

But what you say here only shows that process is working as 
intended - and that it is not suitable for you. Quote from 
readme: "Be prepared for a lot of work. There are always many 
ideas proposed but far fewer developers commited to pursuing the 
idea to the final stages of evaluation. The DIP system is not for 
submitting undeveloped ideas, it is a process for formal approval 
of language changes".

There isn't any lack of ideas in D community. Those don't hold 
much value on its own. What is needed is commitment and 
stubbornness, and DIP system, among other things, helps to not 
pay attention to those who are unlikely to pursue their idea to 
an end.

This is explicitly mentioned in README. Like it or not, but this 
is reality we have to live with and there is no point in 
pretending otherwise. Walter won't change and you can either try 
to make best of the status quo or move on to other things.

.. and trying to convince others that your specific choice is 
"correct" is a shitty move.
