Yes, that's my take on it too. The only way out of this is that D 
is forked. Problem with this is that language designers and 
people with good understanding in compiler technology are not the 
average programmer and are rare. If you are one of those and want 
to continue evolving D, then fork it rather than trying to fight 
this project.
