On the other hand, many people were unhappy with my position

improvements (which
I more or less regarded as bug fixing). There were also no
changes
allowed that affected binary compatibility.
Please, please try and understand. It's not breaking changes
in it self that is the problem. It's how they're handled.
Many people has also talked about something in between D1 and
D2, D1.5 or similar. Which would contain bug fixes and new
backwards compilable changes.
For what it's worth, I agree.
blah blah blah
sorry, I mean to edit out the bit about D1.5 in Jacob's post, not
sure I fully understand what that would mean enough to agree with
it
