Why not?

But first it would be very interesting to check what percentage 
of packages from https://code.dlang.org/ can be still 
successfully compiled using the old 2.076 frontend versus the 
percentage of packages that can be compiled using the most recent 
2.100 frontend. And maybe some frontend versions in between. This 
kind of statistics is necessary before making any commitments.
