To that.. I say...tuff ;-)

A breaking change between major version releases, should be 
something users can accomodate. If they are not willing to 
accomodate that, then fine, they can stay stuck on a working 
version that works on their code.

But let that be a decision for them, rather than a decision they 
force on everyone else.

D needs to be bold, and go where no one as has gone before... .. .

I just finished watching Walter's opening talk at D conf 2017, 
and it seems that a lot of work has gone on to make D safe by 
default, and yet, it is still not safe 'by default'.
