Well, Daniel's big priority right now seems to be making it so 
that dmd, gdc, and ldc can have _exactly_ the same frontend code 
so that the updates required for gdc and ldc for new releases 
will be relatively minimal. Once that's done, the process for 
getting all of the backends ready for a new frontend release 
should be much faster.
