Maybe this project was thought of as an operating system where you just discontinue support and updates, but it turned out that with open source and GitHub it is actually possible with little effort to allow D1 users (and we have corporate users there) to fix remaining bugs. I'm far from a core DMD developer, so I don't understand your dependence on Walter's full attention to D2. I'm just saying it seems legit to me, to keep Don & Co. on board. I'd just drop making D1 releases as a compromise. -- Marco
