Wouldn't that then mean that you couldn't run anything built by dmd either?
If so, then while notarizing dmd would certainly be good, I'd expect that
anyone seriously using a compiler would have to figure out how to tell the
OS to stop complaining about applications which aren't notarized anyway
(though if they made it so that you have to do that per application instead
of globally, that would get _really_ annoying).
