This is nonsense. I tried out the warning on some of my
projects, and they required ZERO changes - because it's a

Phobos requires 37 "virtual:"s to be added - or just change the
makefile to use '-wi' instead of '-w'. Druntime needed 25.
We don't even need to follow the usual 6-months per stage
deprecation - We could leave it as a warning for 2 years if we
wanted!
Grepping for class declarations and sticking in "virtual:" is
as trivial as a fix can possibly be.
When virtual keyword was introduced in Github master I
immediately went to add a bunch of "virtual" in my projects...
only to find myself done after few minutes.
I see some irony in the fact that if classes are made
final-by-default, removing all the unnecessary "final" attributes
would be an order of magnitude longer task.
