I'm really getting tired of this argument. An unknown client (which you still haven't named, so as far as I'm concerned it might as well be just a reddit troll) comes out of the blue, complains about some small breakage which can *easily* be fixed in a point release, and suddenly that has to affect the decision on final by default. Also, the client hasn't bothered to file a bug report, and 2.056 has been released for a few weeks (nevermind the massively long beta cycle). Why not do the obvious and just roll out the point release with the std.json fixes? I only see this as getting worse, however. I mean the whole idea of client X deciding to ring up Andrei or Walter, NDAs to not disclose their name, and make an executive decision on some language/phobos feature. Meanwhile, who's fixing the bugs and implementing features? People who are not on a payroll. So I think we the community and the developers have a right for a vote.
