Walter doesn't have to give up working on DMD, right? Everyone
could continue working on DMD, perhaps a few people could help
on all three, I don't know... It's important if more people
work on DMD and focus on polishing the frontend and language
features, being the reference compiler, and used by all three
compilers as well. What could potentially be important would be
to backport key fixes/features from current frontend to LDC/GDC
as well.
As history tells, everything has to do with him moving D to more
open waters.
DMD is just a piece of that history and an excuse to keep working
in a confort zone. It adds nothing strategically and it's just
the last vestige of the old D world.
