They grow the community of the D users, that eventually could buy
D-related products like IDEs or plug-ins or lints, etc. They
could buy Andrei book and give a little of money to Andrei. They
could create D apps that sometimes become known and give some
more visibility to D, and generally D is an open source tool, so
you create it for people, often people that don't contribute
back. So it's right to respect such people and "clients". But all
this can't justify to stop carefully planned changes of D.
