Nothing will be broken -

2 All:

Recently latest issue that was preventing tests from passing on 
low-end MCU-style platforms has been resolved (Bugzilla 15504)

I suggest us think again about what we are losing now

This is a whole new World that is hidden from us (i.e., from 
developers who use Windows-Linux-Mac) only because devs have to 
go through hell to get a LED blinking on D. We lose good synergy 
effect. Newcomers with a different expierence will pass through 
our low-level code to implement D support for a very different 
platforms. Community will be able to very quickly implement D 
support of the mostest inventions such as virtual reality helmets 
(if is this still considered as innovation), specialised 
computing systems (for which now is only C and Fortran) and for 
all modern stuff. Also, to write on D for Sega Genesis (Megadrive 
2) or for Playdate - this is just cool!
