There's still people that come in to IRC asking about Tango. That 
in itself is a problem.

I'm generally against forking, but I do think making D3 would be 
a rational option for two reasons:

1) const functions/methods by default
2) pure by default

Way too much code would need retrofitting in the 2.x 
specification to just enable those things overnight. And these 
two things are *VERY* important for the future.
