I agree with Andrei, it's a good list. I'll move these issues to the next step in the removal process.
I'd also like to see us getting rid of those warts like assert(float.nan) being true.

Ask yourself, if D had no users other than you, so that you break *anything*, what would you remove? Make a wishlist, and then find out what's possible. Remember, when you did that before, we successfully got rid of 'bit', and there was practically no complaint.
Top of my list would be the auto-decoding behavior of std.array.front() on character arrays. Every time I'm faced with that I want to throw a chair through the window.
Probably second would be having const and purity by default.
