Hi is disappeared from the Dlang after that.

Have you read the DMD PR  thread (not the DIP itself)?

It was a mockery executed by Atila accompanied by silent Walter's 
and Andrei's ignoring.

I know Atila in person. However, it doesn't really matter if 
Atila really didn't understand the DIP reasons or it was a real 
mockery. The fact that this behavior including real or seeming 
mockery and real ignoring is a red flag for any professional 
cooperation.

Atila had been already declared as "new Andrei".

Which was noted right in the DIP to define Atila's privileges to 
make decisions.
