There hasnt been much difference; did upstream ever even fix that 
template regression I found from a incorrect optimization?

There have to be some sort of trade off to make a choice worth 
considering but development speed is slow here, tech debt high, 
bug reports closed erroneously or playing wakeamole with a 
minimized case without actually addressing real uses.

If Im syntax testing ussally code goes back to 100 or 90; its 
shocking how much of my weird template code on "all compilers" 
fails because of my habit of "import std;"

Theres 2 reasons to be on the bleeding edge: a favor for the 
community with my bug reports being taken srsly or features that 
arrive on time to be used. Neither on on offer so why pretend?

Evidence of wasted effort(no one using the beta) is a strange 
reason to suggest adopting even more possible wasted effort 
(maintaining an lts)
