There seems to be a recurring misconception that submitting a DIP is
somehow doing language developers a service. It is exactly other way
around - the whole DIP process is designed to help those who are willing
to commit hard and selfless work to get something into language. There
is hardy any lack of ideas about language improvements at any time.

I consider DIP process to fail when one of specific case happens: there
is someone willing to commit but that person doesn't get deserved
feedback. That was very clearly said in my explanations of the rationale
which got published on dlang blog and yet seems to come as surprise.
