now you killed dub for "normal" GNU/Linux programmer.

dub as a build tool sux. no need to discuss that, it simply sux.

and now you killed the only sensible way to use it: as package manager.

that's why, for example, i never considered adding anything to dub 
repository: that repository is completely useless for me. and other 
people who aren't use dub to build their projects will ignore dub 
repository too.
