Apparently you agree it is not an actual problem.
Really? I don't know if you really missed the point being made, or you're being
provocative. Both seem unlikely to me.
His argument was:
"Currently a machine checked @safe function calling an unannotated extern C
routine will error out during compilation. This is great as the C routine was
not machine checked, and generally can not be checked. Post 1028, IIUC, the
compilation will go through without complaint. This seems quite clear. What am
I missing?"
I replied that it was unlikely that such legacy code existed.
He replied that he was not concerned about it.
I.e. working legacy code is not going break.
