One reason why people are asking for such a distribution model is the "stability" of D. IOW, both the language and compiler capabilities change so often that you can't expect version X of the compiler to work with version Y of some library. Even for reasonably close releases of these projects, like libs published less than ~ a year after the compiler. Recent examples: '=>'-lambdas, UDAs and many smaller changes. It only takes one library that uses a newer feature and you have to upgrade the compiler, which can be problematic for various reasons, including some /other/ used libs failing after such upgrade. Figuring out a working set of tools and libs can be hard, and require maintaining local changes to several external projects/libs.
Isn't something a company or organization would do and support the whole package.
