The reliance on GDC/LDC to produce production-level

Yes. And considering there is no hope that we bring dmd's
backend up to speed with GCC or LLVM (let's be realistic one
second) what is even more worrisome is how little they are
integrated in the workflow.
The best way to help would probably be to work on contributor
guides/documentation. They don't seem to have much of either of
these - or I'm blind(good possibility.)
Even if so what is the point ? That is completely wasted work. It
is already done elsewhere.
That is aggravated pathological NIH syndrome right there.
