run.dlang.org depends on core-exec. I had reported the issue with 
respect to old dub dependencies there and Petar responded that 
the CI started failing a bit ago and he hasn't had the time to 
fix. I'm not sure how to fix it myself and wouldn't have the time 
either, but I'm sure if anyone is able to help it is appreciated. 
run.dlang is a great piece of functionality.
