<rage>Please. Go to http://wiki.dlang.org/Release_Process . Read 
it. Answer the question "Hm, does having well-defined release 
process with long-term support versions help with instability of 
breaking changes?". And if answer is "no" then you probably 
should have contributed your opinion there for a long time, 
because it _should_ to.</rage>

Really, all this backwards-compatibility talk is a crap. There is 
no way we can say current D design is final and solid and can be 
polished without any breaking changes. We should not argue about 
how bad breaking is. We should discus how to do those changes in 
the least harmful way.
