A lot of groups cannot consider D unless it supports 64 bit compilation.

71 bugzilla issues were resolved just in the last update. I don't think it's 
quite fair to characterize the ongoing development as ignoring the community. 
You list several things *per day*. I doubt any organization could keep up with 
the sheer volume of your output <g>. I'm not suggesting that you stop doing it, 
quite the contrary. I just hope you can be realistic about how much can be done 
about them in the short term.
