DLF does care; that’s why they decided to sponsor me looking into 
solving issues like this. Life just happened in the intervening 
time so things ground to a halt for a while. I am slowly getting 
back to finding and solving issues w/ the Mac experience.

Looking into potentially providing a pkg for LDC that will be 
signed and notarized by me. As for DMD; that’ll have to wait 
until the arm64 support is fully functional.
