Hope this does not divide the community much.

This there are tickets to fix something in dmd in order to make the rest of the compilers work. Kinda sounds unfare when there are more important bugs to be fixed. Hope I do not offend anybody with my posts. I am just trying to understand the reading behind all this. And let me tell you to a new commer all this sounds confusing.

Reading posts about two standard libraries makes people start to question waht they should do.
