Because original post had no learning context at all. I would 
gladly support initiative to provide more example-based tutorials 
for DMD contribution. Or any call for feedback based on existing 
patches. But it has nothing like that, instead focusing on "here 
is what I like to change in D so I keep local patches it" side of 
things. And this is really bad.

Nothing is perfect and freedoms of open source come with their 
own drawbacks. I still find the benefits worth it but that 
doesn't mean that does mean that drawbacks are to be liked. 
Sometimes social aspect can be used as a counter-measure of 
technical flaw.
