That's nice, but since you present no arguments other than simply 
stating that it's "valuable" or "a very good idea" that's "gone 
up"- why? who knows? That would require actually supplying an 
argument- the 99.9% of D users who've never attended Dconf are 
unlikely to be persuaded that it's ever worth attending DConf or 
wasting any more time with a language that is more focused on 
blowing time and money on that outdated conference format than 
getting work done on the language.
