Not 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. -- Dmitry Olshansky 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. -- Dmitry Olshansky
