Maybe true, but I was thinking of it from a different angle -- why the
main D2 development does not switch backends.  To be fair, the work
involved would surely detract from the main development effort on the
language and features.  I can also see the desire to have a backend that
is fully under the control of the main developers.

What are the concerns here ... ?  I don't currently have a strong enough
sense of the differences.

I've been following that D2 work for a while now, and am looking forward
to where it is going ... :-)
