Can't agree more. It's unrealistic to expect Walter work on the
backend full-time just to catch up with GCC and LLVM teams, let
alone support architectures other than x86 as well.
Moreover, given the frequent backend regressions it might be
better not to touch it too much. As of now relying on DMD for
optimized builds gives constant work.
