Because the compiler and library releases go in lockstep we'd have

acceptable really.
Phobos ends up battle testing every new feature and if it wasn't new
features will be definitely shipped in a broken state. Let's not
forget that new D frontend features still have many bugs that stay
undetected even after testing in Phobos.

Surely the compiler should always rely on the previous compiler +
standard library versions.
Is there really a valid reason not to do this? Surely if the dog food is
so bad no one should be eating?
Anyhow I'd let compiler team decide this.
