Sorry, but this is a D typical way of answering to such issues. 
Put your blinders on and say that it's not an issue, all is good. 
ARM has been an issue for quite a while and it was obvious years 
ago that there would be more and more ARM in the future. Things 
are going in this direction (small devices etc.)

Adam gave you a good answer. He's right. And things may change 
quite fast. Look at Steve, he wants to buy an "old" MacBook in 
order to have time to transition to ARM. It is urgent and you 
have to act now. I hope you don't think that if people have 
enough skin in the game (i.e. their livelihood), then somebody 
will step up and tackle it. No, this is the job of the DLF. You 
should be glad that the LDC crowd has done a fantastic job 
already. Do you understand that their work might actually save D 
one day? I strongly advise you to make ARM a top priority, maybe 
not with DMD, but with a package (LDC / GDC) that makes for a 
smooth development experience and is future proof - not as a 
community project (as people might just leave for various 
reasons) but as a LTS project managed directly by the DLF (like 
DMD).
