I think it's a great idea. This has been suggested before. The
objections were that:

figuring out if it's a regression or an intended change?
It does raise the bar for language changes. Most changes should
be backwards compatible. For intended changes it forces us to
come up with a way to automatically detect and ideally fix it
(dfix?).
In an ideal world, I would imagine it like this: Tester finds a
package breaks. Package is on Github, so Tester can file an issue
there. Tester checks out the source from repo, runs dfix, sends
pull request referencing the issue.
* Not all packages are maintained enough to keep up with all
compiler changes
Then it would be quite interesting to know about this and provide
this information at code.dlang.org, like "broken for 2.068.0 and
above".
