Exactly.

Yes, but I don't think I would be more relevant than what the DLF 
say itself.

What I observe is that we've given ample space to a discourse 
that fantasize a horrible destiny for D, and sometimes just plain 
impoliteness, while from where I stand all kinds of issues go 
away over time, 50 of my 64 Buzilla entries have been solved (and 
the other don't matter), and in D industry meetings some have 
nothing to ask for! And everyone seems to be liking D. How do you 
reconcile that?

The core of the doom discourse is that somehow core team limits 
D, I feel instead that the community fails to be supportive when 
it needs to and even accept users behaving in a unprofessional 
way...

If it were for the common good it would be worth it, but I think 
we're learning eventually that putting up with bad behaviour is 
not worth it.
